title: MySQL Database connection for OpenShift 2
body: <p>I have 2 cartridges in OpenShift 2, one for Tomcat 7 where my war is deployed and the other is a MySQL cartridge where I am hosting my DB. This is my context.xml file</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Context&gt;
  &lt;Resource
    name="jdbc/src"
    type="javax.sql.DataSource"
    maxActive="4"
    maxIdle="2"
    username="admin****I"
    maxWait="5000"
    validationQuery="select 1"         
    driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
    password="########"     
    url="jdbc:mysql://pi-******.rhcloud.com:3306/pi"/&gt;
  
  &lt;/Context&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My URL where I access the application is pi-******.rhcloud.com and my DB name in MySQL cartridge is pi, so is my context.xml correct? Is this how I connect to the DB from a war deployed on OpenShift? </p>
