Does any one know of a good book, tutorial or URL for Java and mySQL
connectivity?  I run Tomcat & mySQL on a RedHat 7.1 server and have used
mySQL to setup a database with a table and a few values so I can have a real
sample to toy with. I put the servlet names in the web.xml file in my
webapp, but I don't know HOW to code the JAVA to talk to it.  

I know this is not 100% tomcat and I apologize for that, is there another
group I can ask if this one is inappropriate?

Are you running Tomcat 4 with a security manager (i.e.
"$CATALINA_HOME/bin/catalina.sh start -security")?  That seems likely,
given the fact that you're gatting a security manager exception.

If so, you need to grant your JDBC driver permission to create a network
connection to port 3306 on your database host.  This is done in the
"conf/catalina.policy" file.  There are some notes near the bottom of that
file documenting the way that you add this permission.
