JSP mysql tomcat5.5 debian: forbidden by default

If you are getting this error while trying to connect to mysql from JSP in debian:

java.net.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:3306 connect,resolve

Then you should allow the connection in tomcat policy, add this line:

java.net.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1:3306 connect,resolve” to the “grant{” block in the file “/etc/tomcat5.5/policy.d/04webapps.policy
