Application gives Communications Link Failure on Mac OS while using MySQL Server

My application is using MySQL Server. When i try to launch it on Mac OS, the application state hangs at my persistence manager where i try to establish a connection. A exception is thrown after exactly 30 minutes.

After a bit of debugging i found that the application hangs in my Spring Framework while loading beanRefContext.xml

Any ideas why the application is unable to start on Mac OS?

I suppose you can take a look to mySql configuration file

/etc/my.cnf

probabilly if I've understood well your request the problem is here:

wait_timeout = 1800
connect_timeout = 10

Also take a look at "max_connections" line. In case you're using connection pooling it can grow faster than expected and get to the limit amount of connections, giving this lines you mentioned as a result.
