Hey, problem has just been solved. It was an interesting problem; the
java that comes with fedora core linux is different to Sun's java, and
not fully compatible with every java application. The solution is to use
JPackage to run 2 versions of java simultaneously (2 'alternatives').
Thanks,
Jack

Two silly questions:
1) Can you connect using the mysql command prompt?
2) Can you connect using another tool (there are many DB plugins for
Eclipse) that uses a jdbc: type connection string?

Hi, I'm new to Cayenne and have just joined a work group that use it.
Their system is still using Cayenne 1.2.3, so that is the version I
downloaded and unpacked in /home/program_files (in my fresh Fedora 7
Linux installation). They are using the MySQL db, so I also acquired a
JDBC driver (called MySQL Connector/J) and unpacked that in
/home/program_files.
Following the tutorial, I setup Eclipse, then begin working with
Cayenne. After setting CAYENNE_HOME=/home/program_files/cayenne-1.2.3
I open Cayenne by running:
cd [cayenne_distro_dir]/lib/modeler
java -jar cayenne-modeler.jar
Then in Tools>Preferences>ClassPath, I add the file
/home/program_files/mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga/mysql-connector-java-3.0.17-ga-bin.jar
Then in Tools>Preferences>Local DataSources, I click New... and create:
Name: DataSource0
Adapter: org.objectstyle.cayenne.dba.mysql.MySQLAdapter
Then change DB URL to jdbc:mysql://localhost/jackdb (where jackdb is the
name of a MySQL DB I have created), and Enter my Username and Password
for it. Now, if I click Test..., I get:
Error connecting to DB: Invalid authorization specification message form
server: "Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password:
NO)"
If I continue, and click save, then "New Project", the main window is
divided into 2 parts as in the tutorial; on the right is the normal
default screen as in the tutorial, but on the left is on long line:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
NB/ each time I go back into Tools>Preferences>Local DataSources, DB URL
has reset to jdbc:mysql://localhost/database, and Username and Password
are blank again.
I would really appreciate any ideas!
Thanks
Jack
