This might be a trivial question. I have a local MySQL database which has
no password has been set.
So basically my application.conf file has this entry:
db=mysql:root:@emp

However, when play starts up and tries to process a request, it complains
displaying this in the  stacktrace.
play.exceptions.DatabaseException: Cannot connected to the database,
" Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'name:@emp''

Is there a way to specify the URL explicitly telling the framework that it
should not expect a password?

Thanks

Hi,

It looks like the documentation describes your exact use case:
