AWS RDS How to set up a MySQL Database - mysql

Question

I have a Java application running on successfully on Amazon Web Services Elastic Beanstalk.
I am trying to set up MySQL. I have created a DB Instance as you can see:
Question 1:
How do I connect my Java App to the Database?
I have the following code (after viewing this):
#Bean
public DataSource dataSource() {
// Openshift
// String host = System.getenv("OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST");
// String port = System.getenv("OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT");
// String username = System.getenv("OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_USERNAME");
// String password = System.getenv("OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PASSWORD");
// AWS
String host = System.getenv("RDS_HOSTNAME");
String port = System.getenv("RDS_PORT");
String username = System.getenv("RDS_USERNAME");
String password = System.getenv("RDS_PASSWORD");
String dbname = System.getenv("RDS_DB_NAME");
DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();
dataSource.setDriverClassName(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.driverClassName"));
if (host == null) {
dataSource.setUrl(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.url"));
dataSource.setUsername(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.username"));
dataSource.setPassword(environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.password"));
} else {
//dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://" + host + ":" + port + "/");
// Openshift
//dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://" + host + ":" + port + "/" + environment.getRequiredProperty("jdbc.dbname"));
// AWS
dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://" + host + ":" + port + "/" + dbname);
dataSource.setUsername(username);
dataSource.setPassword(password);
System.out.println("jdbc:mysql://" + host + ":" + port + "/" + dbname+", username: "+username+", password: "+password);
}
return dataSource;
}
(p.s. the commented out code works on OpenShifts server)
But I get the following:
org.springframework.web.util.NestedServletException: Request
processing failed; nested exception is
org.springframework.transaction.CannotCreateTransactionException:
Could not open JPA EntityManager for transaction; nested exception is
org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: Unable to acquire
JDBC Connection
org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.processRequest(FrameworkServlet.java:982)
Question 2:
From an existing database, in MySQL Workbench, I have exported sql scripts to create a schema and tables, and then populate them. How do I import this into the AWS RDS MySQL database?

UPDATE
I also added rules to open it for everyone, but still get the same error:

Answer 1

The problem has to do with your database and the security group.
Hover to the "i" icon next to the Cluster Endpoint.
A popup will appear with the security groups.
Hit the first default link and you will be redirected to the security groups configuration.
Then you have to edit the security group and add an inbound rule in order to include your local ip.
Keep in mind that this will work only if your rds is on a public subnet.
This link is pretty helpful for troubleshooting.
