I have downloaded the correct updated Java and checked with Java to make sure my jave is working corrected. I have enabled everything by java help guidlines. I have Windows XP SP2. Now- what is wrong? Yahoo applets still will not work. I am having to play my games on other websites instead of yahoo because yahoo is the only website that will not let me load the applets. What is wrong with yahoo?

This is my code

public class Main {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Connection myConnection;

System.out.println("Sample db connectivity using MySQL and netbeans");


try{

Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
myConnection=DriverManager.getConnection(
"jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sample"-"nbenavidez"-"password"
);
}
catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("Failed to get connection - This is BSSSSS");
e.printStackTrace();
}



}

}
the error :

Failed to get connection - This is BSSSSS

I have the connector in place (the jar file) and it does compile fine also

which allows you to add and remove peoples details- such as their names- phone numbers- and addresses?
if you d rather you can send my an email- which is trevman75@yahoo.com

I need a good place where I can find source for compression algorithms in JAVA (for Huffman- LZV- Arithmetic- universal...)

I cannot view some things on web pages- most I can though. Have all current upgrades and flash player- java- shockwave players all working fine. Seems to be HTML error and have tried to change the editor- but didn t help. Happens with IE and Mozilla Foxfire.
