java jdbc nested exception

I have created client-server gui calendar application in eclipse but it doesn't work. I have such a strange exception.. Can someone help me to solve it. As a server I used mysql and fat jar plugin for eclipse to make runnable jar file.

com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure dueto underlying exception:

BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION

Regards,

Check your JDBC connection string to make sure you have correct port number. By default MySQL runs on 3306. You can verify it by using >netstat -b command

Looks like your server (mysql) is not started at specified address and port.
