database connectivity - java.net.UnknownHostException

Question

I have an exception here in the following code... I am trying to build a simple servlet project and I have the following exception raised: java.net.UnknownHostException...
I have the mysql jar file added and besides...I have added it as an external jar file and also under lib in WEB-INF, as stated in this page, but now this is throwing an java.net.UnknownHostException.

This is the code and the exception stack trace.

package com.servlet.Mysql;

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.SQLException;


public class Connection_Class {
String driver_ClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver";
String URL_connection="jdbc:mysql://localhost3306/vendor";
String user="root";
String password="lifesuckzz";
private static Connection_Class connectionclass=null;

private Connection_Class(){
    try{
        Class.forName(driver_ClassName);

    }catch(ClassNotFoundException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

public Connection getConnection() throws SQLException{
    Connection con=null;
    con=DriverManager.getConnection(URL_connection,user,password);
    return con;
}

public static Connection_Class getInstance(){
    if(connectionclass==null){
        connectionclass=new Connection_Class();
    }
    return connectionclass;}}

Stack trace:

I am using Apache Web container and Eclipse, this post java.lang.ClassNotFoundException in spite of using CLASSPATH environment variable I think wasnt near to my case here.....please help me out, thank you all in advance...

Answer 1

You have missed the colon between hostname and port number... Your connection URL should be

String URL_connection="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/vendor";
