Query: MySQL and JavaBeans

.... Connecting from a different machine is covered just fine in the book. A simple matter of the URL and port 3306.The book was a great help in configuring MySQL in a J2EE environment. This is easily the best book out at this time. Looks like some other references are coming soon which may turn out to be better. However, as of this writing, I couldn't have succeeded with the JavaBean config without Core MySQL.
