Description:
We recently migrated to Websphere Application Server from v6.1 to v8.0, after that we are getting issues at random with attached error message whenever app tries to access the mysql database.

I checked mysql forum, 38699 bug says there is a problem with driver, could you please provide me driver with the fix.

How to repeat:
Using mysql-connector-java.5.1.6-bin.jar in Websphere Application Server v8.0, before migrating it was used in Websphere Application Server v6.1, before migration it was working fine.

But after migrating to v8.0 driver is not supporting to connect to DB always and throws illegalArgumentException.

Please, try to use recent version, 5.1.19, that is available from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/
