Java to PHP to MySQL Bridge

How can I access a MySQL database on a web server that does not offer a public connector?

Common web servers do not have an open connection other than via localhost to connect to the MySQL database. The jpmdbc project offers a JDBC driver plus a php script that can connect your JDBC relying application - e.g i-net Clear Reports to just that database.

To get started, download the JDBC driver and PHP script from the project download page. Now unpack and configure the PHP file on your webserver - and the JDBC driver to the i-net Clear Reports lib directory. After starting the Configuration Manager you can add a new datasource using the Datasource Manager.

For detailed information about the installation and setup of the PHP file and further notice about database compatability, have a look at the jpmdbc project homepage.
