Quick follow-up.

I check with the admin staff and the mysql client had been
installed and so was able to test the permissions as per your guidelines - that worked and I was also able to run my query OK.

So I figured there must be a problem with the Cocoon
setup... somewhere.  I went back to that "old" IBM
tutorial [really needs updating!] and found this in the
install section:

"check that the driver has been properly installed and loaded.
Restart Tomcat to ensure that all classes are properly reloaded. Once Tomcat and Cocoon 2 have restarted, check the $COCOON_HOME/WEB-INF/logs/access.log
file for an entry similar to the following:
(Unknown-URI) Unknown-thread/CocoonServlet:
Trying to load class: org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
This indicates that the server is attempting to load the driver. If a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException has been logged after this message, then the driver is not correctly installed."

I did and sure enough - there was the ClassNotFoundException !

On double-checking I found the mysql driver file was not in
the lib directory... I think that between my starting on this
problem (yesterday) and these latest tests, the version of Ccooon had been upgraded - and the "extra" jar was not
reinstalled - what a waste of a day!

Thanks again, though, for the patient support. I continue to learn;
albeit at a painful pace.

Well done for fixing it.

That is the nature of these problems - they're brutally obvious, once you've fixed them :-)
