I installed Netbeans 6.1, JDK 6 and MySQL database server 5………….but i cannot make the connections………….tried following a number of blog entries and did a lot of google but i still cannot figure out!

In Netbeans, when i try to make a new connection i.e.
services->databases->new connection and then in the Basic setting provide,

Name as “MySQL (connector/J Driver)
at which it sets the Driver to a default value of “com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”…..the database url is set to jdbc:mysql://:/

Then i supply the username and password at which it says that:
“Unable to add connection.Cannot establish connection to jdbc:mysql://:/ using com.mysql.jdbc.Driver(Illegal port value ” ”

I admit that am pretty much ignorant in this field…………..and right now am desperately in need of HELP !!! It’s been hours, could you please let me how to configure the settings and start working on it?

Please…………ASAP !!!

I install NetBeans 6.1 (with mysql server 5.0 and glassfish-v2ur2) onto my computer (windows vista business) to develope web application.

When I create or open project(web application),there is a missing server problem.

I try installing Apache Tomcat too. But it results the same.

I try installing it on other computer(windows XP). It’s OK

Is there a problem with netbean6.1 and vista?

How should I do?

Thanks ,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I did figure out my problem a while ago, after searching the plug-ins.

Perhaps you can answer another question I have. At work, we are being instructed to build our web pages using Business Delegates, Transfer Objects, Service Objects and Data Access Objects. I haven’t been able to find much documentation regarding this structure. Do you know of any resources (web sites, books, or other) that can provide some instruction for these entities?

Thanks again,

Mike

I recently downloaded NetBeans 6.1 and Glassfish to improve my skills at developing web applications. The first line of the web app tutorial provided by NetBeans says,

“1 Choose File > New Project (Ctrl-Shift-N) from the main menu. Under Categories, select Web. Under Projects, select Web Application then click Next.”

However, on the list of Categories for the version I downloaded, there is no “Web” category, only “Java”, “NetBeans Modules”, and “Samples”.

Can you tell me if I downloaded a wrong version, or NetBeans doesn’t recognize my download of Glassfish (i.e. no server, no need for Web app), or did I do something else wrong?

Can I simply download another file or files in order to make available that “Web” category that is called for in the Web Application tutorial?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
