Deploying and using MySQL can be as easy as adding another parameter to the JDBC connection URL, which will result in the database being started when the first connection is made.
This makes it easy for Java developers to deploy applications which require a database by reducing installation barriers for their end-users.
MySQL Connector/MXJ makes the MySQL database appear to be a java-based component.
It does this by determining what platform the system is running on, selecting the appropriate binary, and launching the executable. It will also optionally deploy an initial database, with any specified parameters.
Included are instructions for use with a JDBC driver and deploying as a JMX MBean to JBoss.
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.
MySQL Connector/C++ is licensed under the GPL with a commercial license upon request.
What is new in this release:
- New features:
- The embedded MySQL binaries have been updated to MySQL 5.1.40 for GPL releases and MySQL 5.1.40 for Commercial releases.
- The contents of the directory used for bootstrapping the MySQL databases is now configurable by using the windows-share-dir-jar property. You should supply the name of a jar containing the files you want to use.
- The embedded Aspect/J class has been removed.
- The default timeout for the kill delay within the embedded test suite has been increased from 10 to 30 seconds.
- Bugs fixed:
