A little Googling told me that this may be resolved by downloading the latest version of the MySQL connector for Java.

What version of the driver are you using? What version MySQL database are you connecting to? Could you post the rest of the stack trace, as well as the code that caused the error (in [CODE ][/CODE] brackets of course)?
