I'm surprised that this was the error. Usually, you'll get a message
like "SQLException: Cannot connect to database using password: NO" or
something like that. Perhaps you fixed two problems at once.

AFAIK, MySQL doesn't use "@" to mean anything. "%" is used to mean "any
host", but localhost should also be defined.

When in doubt, use the GRANT command.

This exception message is so irritating because it provides absolutely
no information at all. It suggests that the driver class name is null,
but that's not the case. This issue comes up again and again on the
list, and nobody is ever really sure what the ultimate "fix" is. In my
case, simply re-entering the configuration from scratch seems to be the
best thing to do (and check those JARs).
