Deploying Connector/MXJ using Driver Launch
Connector/MXJ and Connector/J work together to enable you to launch an instance of the mysqld server through the use of a keyword in the JDBC connection string. Deploying Connector/MXJ within a Java application can be automated through this method, making the deployment of Connector/MXJ a simple process:
- Download and unzip Connector/MXJ. Add
mysql-connector-mxj-gpl-[ver].jarto theCLASSPATH.If you are using Connector/MXJ v5.0.4 or later, also add the
mysql-connector-mxj-gpl-[ver]-db-files.jarfile to yourCLASSPATH. - To the JDBC connection string, embed the
mxjkeyword, for example:jdbc:mysql:mxj://localhost:.PORT/DBNAME
