MySql+Servlets Connectivity

We are facing connectivity problem while connecting to MySQL Database through servlets. We can connect to it via Telnet. The code being used is as follows :

*********************************************************
import java.sql.*;
public final class EstablishConnection
{
private EstablishConnection() {}

public static Connection con;
public static void connectDB()
{
try
{
if (con == null | | con.isClosed())
{
try
{
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
String url = "jdbc:mysql://Host:3306/Database_Name";
con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "user", "password");
} catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe){}
catch(SQLException sqle){}
}
} catch (SQLException sqle) {}
}
}

************************************************************

Even after making the changes to code it still don't work.

Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver").newInstance();
//String url = "jdbc:mysql://HOST:3306/DBNAME";
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://HOST/DBNAME?user=USER&password=PASSWORD");

Please tell is there any server side settings which is required to make the Driver run.
