Description:
I'm trying to use Named Pipes as described in the Connector/J documentation. I set the "socketFactory" property to "com.mysql.jdbc.NamedPipeSocketFactory" in my Sun Java Application Server JDBC connection pool. Connector/J still uses the "com.mysql.jdbc.StandardSocketFactory". This works for the 3.x Connector/J versions. This bug was introduced in Connector/J 5.x.

How to repeat:
Instead of setting the "socketFactory", set "socketFactoryClassName" to "com.mysql.jdbc.NamedPipeSocketFactory". This works!

Suggested fix:
Either correct the Connector/J documentation to reflect the "socketFactoryClassName" property or change the declared field name in ConnectionProperties.java to "socketFactory".
