I was trying to find some example to connect MySQL database with my Java Shared Hosting Plan on GoDaddy.com but I could not. Well, I don’t want to say that GoDaddy has the best plan for hosting Java application. I still can not figure out how to use JSTL, custom url-pattens in the web.xml and forward requests from a servlet to JSP page. Also, we have to put http://<domain_name>/servlet/<servlet_name> to access servlet. But, here is simple working example to show you database connection from hosting to MySQL server on GoDaddy Shared Hosting.
Take a look at the example at link : GoDaddyJavaMySQL

Hello superb blog! Does running a blog similar to this take a great deal of work?
I have no expertise in coding but I had been hoping to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyway, if you have any suggestions or tips for new blog owners please share.
I know this is off subject however I just wanted to ask.
Thanks!
Hello SEO Singapore, Thanks for comment.
When I started my blog it was very much hobby. My friends suggested me to start with WordPress as it is very simple to install and maintain.
I would suggest the same. You should go with wordpress and start blogging.
Hi there, I log on to your blogs like every week. Your writing
style is witty, keep up the good work!
