Connection issue - jdbc and xml

[Macinslaw]

I am using mysql 5 and need to connect to it from an application. I am running tomcat 4.1, mysql 5 and jave sdk 6 on Windows server 2000. I have the following placed in an xml file, but the error log tells me that it is unable to connect can anyone assist me?

I have asked the same on a tomcat site.

<dbConf>
<dbDriver>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</dbDriver>
<dbUrl>jdbc:mysql://localhost/sysaid</dbUrl>
<dbUser>private</dbUser>

<dbEncoding>utf-8</dbEncoding>
