I just set foot on JSP. I started writing simple programs to display dates, system info. Then I tried to connect a MySQL database I have a free hosting account, but I am not able to connect to MySQL database. Here is my code:
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %> 
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %> 
<html> 
<head> 
<title>Connection with mysql database</title>
</head> 
<body>
<h1>Connection status</h1>
<% 
try {
    String connectionURL = "jdbc:mysql://mysql2.000webhost.com/a3932573_product";
    Connection connection = null; 
    Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance(); 
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection(connectionURL, "a3932573_dibya", "******");
    if(!connection.isClosed())
         out.println("Successfully connected to " + "MySQL server using TCP/IP...");
    connection.close();
}catch(Exception ex){
    out.println("Unable to connect to database.");
}
%>
</font>
</body> 
</html>
I am getting Message as Connection Status unable to connect to database. I have tested this connection using PHP using the same username, password and database name. Where am I making mistake?
