From: Date: March 1 2005 9:53pm Subject: MySQL Connector/MXJ 1.1.0 is available for download List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/announce/262 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v619.2) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit MySQL Connector/MXJ 1.1.0 is a Java utility package for deploying and managing a MySQL RDMS. Adding a MySQL database to a Java application can be as easy as: 1) adding the Connector/J and Connector/MXJ .jar files to the CLASSPATH 2) add one parameter to the JDBC connection string: String url = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/?" + "socketFactory=" + ServerLauncherSocketFactory.class.getName(); By adding this parameter, the Connector/J JDBC driver will automatically deploy and launch the MySQL database with the first connection. Additionally, MySQL Connector/MXJ may be bundled in to an existing Java application and managed as a plain Java object, or may be deployed as a JMX MBean. This makes it easy for Java developers to deploy applications which require a database by reducing installation barriers for their end-users. In order for MySQL Connector/MXJ to make the MySQL database appear to be a java-based component, It determines what platform the system is running on, selects the appropriate binary, and launches the executable. It will also optionally deploy an initial database, with any specified parameters. As a JMX MBean, MySQL Connector/MXJ requires a JMX v1.2 compliant MBean container, such as JBoss version 4. The MBean will uses the standard JMX management APIs to present (and allow the setting of) parameters which are appropriate for that platform. Included are instructions for using a JDBC extension as well as deploying to JBoss. Please, be sure to read the "README" file. New in the 1.1.0 version are MySQL 4.1.10 resources for the following platforms: * Linux x86 * Mac OS X 10.3 * Windows XP/2K/NT x86 * SunOS sparc You can download sources and binaries from: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/mxj/1.0.html Some mirrors may take a while to update. Remember, feedback is welcome and encouraged.
