我设法用phpMyAdmin等在OpenShift上设置MySQL数据库。有人告诉我我数据库的主机名和端口
分别是$ OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST和$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT，将它们放在我的context.xml文件中，
如下所示：

<context-param>
        <param-name>driver</param-name>
        <param-value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>url</param-name>
        <param-value>jdbc:mysql://$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST:$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT/burgerjoint</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>user</param-name>
        <param-value>admin******</param-value>
    </context-param>
    <context-param>
        <param-name>password</param-name>
        <param-value>*********</param-value>
    </context-param>

设置连接的代码是：

public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event) {
    // Connect
    String driver = event.getServletContext().getInitParameter(PARAM_DRIVER);
    String url = event.getServletContext().getInitParameter(PARAM_URL);
    String username = event.getServletContext().getInitParameter(PARAM_USERNAME);
    String password = event.getServletContext()
        .getInitParameter(PARAM_PASSWORD);

    try {
        Class.forName(driver);
        Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username,
            password);

        event.getServletContext().setAttribute(ATTR_CONNECTION, connection);


    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SQLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    }

但是问题是服务器上的连接为空，我不明白为什么。我做错什么了吗？当我在localhost 上尝试时，该代码有效。据我所知，我拥有所有必需的库：

谢谢您的帮助 ：）

更新资料

我修改了连接代码，如下所示：

{
    if (connection != null) return connection;

    try
    {
        Properties dbProperties = new Properties();
        InputStream input = DatabaseUtil.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(DB_PROPERTIES_FILE);
        dbProperties.load(input);
        String url = "";
        if (appIsDeployed)
        {
        String host = System.getenv("$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST");
        String port = System.getenv("$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT");
        String name = "burgerjoint";
        url = "jdbc:mysql://" + host + ":" + port + "/" + name;
        } else
        {
        url = dbProperties.getProperty(PARAM_URL);
        }
        String driver = dbProperties.getProperty(PARAM_DRIVER);
        String username = dbProperties.getProperty(PARAM_USERNAME);
        String password = dbProperties.getProperty(PARAM_PASSWORD);

        Class.forName(driver);
        connection = DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password);

but it still gives null connection. The values of
System.getenv("$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_HOST") and
System.getenv("$OPENSHIFT_MYSQL_DB_PORT") are null.
