Kotlinc-jvm repl having trouble connecting to mysql database

Support
1

Hi

I am trying to use kotlinc-jvm to access a mysql database via jdbc. I am running Lubuntu 20.04 on a 64 bit machine. I have found /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-8.0.20.jar on my machine.

Having had issues doing this in kotlinc-jvm, I tried the following in jshell:

  • jshell --class-path /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-8.0.20.jar

Once inside jshell I try the following (without the leading dash):

  • import java.sql.*;

  • Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”);

This is successful, though I get a deprecated class warning.

Next I try the following with kotlinc-jvm:

  • kotlinc-jvm -jvm-target 1.8 -cp /usr/share/java/mysql-connector-java-8.0.20.jar

  • import java.sql.*

  • Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”).newInstance()

and I get a massive list of error messages (displayed below).

I also try

  • Class.forName(“com.mysql.cj.jdbc.Driver”).newInstance()

and get what appears to be the same massive list of error messages.

I also tried jvm target 9 and 11 and had the same issue.

Note that I have gotten this to work in Inteelij but wish to try out the repl in kotlinc-jvm to see if it responds quikcer - I find the repl in Intellij to be very hard to work with and sometimes very slow.

Thanks . . .

Phil

I think my comment above may be related to this other post 5 years ago - Kotlin Classpath and Java ClassLoaders with REPL - #4 by udalov

Here’s the relevant issue: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-21140.

As a workaround, you can use JDK 8 to run the Kotlin REPL. For that, you need to ensure it is installed on your system, and then run kotlinc by setting the JAVA_HOME variable (using AdoptOpenJDK 8 as example):

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/adoptopenjdk-8-hotspot-amd64 kotlinc ...

or by passing the -jdk-home argument:

kotlinc -jdk-home=/usr/lib/jvm/adoptopenjdk-8-hotspot-amd64 ...

(Note that the -jvm-target argument only controls what instructions the compiler can use in the generated bytecode; it has no effect on what JDK the compiler uses to resolve symbols in your code.)

Hi

First, thanks for getting back to me. In this reply I will post the results of what you suggested - in my next reply I will post some other results.

As you suggested, I installed adoptopenjdk-8 . . .

I then started up kotlinc and subsequently issued a set of commands (all of which follow):

phil@TroyWareJ5005A:~$ kotlinc-jvm -jdk-home /usr/lib/jvm/adoptopenjdk-8-hotspot-amd64 -classpath /home/phil/TestKotlinC/mysql-connector-java-5.1.49

import java.sql.Connection

import java.sql.DriverManager

import java.util.*

import java.io.*

import java.net.URLClassLoader

internal var connection: Connection? = null

internal var username = “pacuser” // provide the username

internal var password = “yortlihp” // provide the corresponding password

val connectionProperties = Properties()

connectionProperties.put(“user”, username)

connectionProperties.put(“password”, password)

Class.forName(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”).newInstance()

I got the following error message:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/sql/Driver

Hi

I also tried something different that worked a little but not enough:

I started up kotlinc by entering
kotlinc-jvm -jdk-home /usr/lib/jvm/adoptopenjdk-8-hotspot-amd64 -classpath /home/phil/TestKotlinC/mysql-connector-java-5.1.49

I then entered the following:

import java.sql.Connection
import java.sql.DriverManager
import java.util.*
import java.io.*
import java.net.URLClassLoader
var file = File(“/home/phil/TestKotlinC/mysql-connector-java-5.1.49”)
var classUrl = file.toURI().toURL()
var urls = arrayOf(classUrl)
var ucl = URLClassLoader(urls)
ucl.loadClass(“com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”)

kotlinc responded to the last command with
res9: java.lang.Class<*>! = class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
(which I interpret to mean that was abled to load the Driver from the jar file - am I correct about that?)

I then entered:

internal var connection: Connection? = null
internal var username = “pacuser” // provide the username
internal var password = “yortlihp” // provide the corresponding password
val connectionProperties = Properties()
connectionProperties.put(“user”, username)
connectionProperties.put(“password”, password)
connection = DriverManager.getConnection(“jdbc:” + “mysql” + “://” + “127.0.0.1” + “:” + “3306” + “/” + “pac”, connectionProperties)

and got the following error messages:

I do not understand why kotlinc-jvm is not finding DriverManager - am I not referencing the JDK properly? Or is kotlinc still using my other JDK?

Thanks . . .

Oh, I see. In fact REPL uses the same JDK to execute code which the compiler is running on. So my suggestion with using -jdk-home will not work because the compiler itself is being run on another JDK. The other approach, with setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable, should work though. Have you tried it?

Hi

I am going to try it. Or alternatively, I will remove newer versions of Java from my machine.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi

I set the java to java 8 and it works.

Thank you very much.
