Cannot create database connection

Process finished with exit code 1

would require additional information, show a sample of the code that is failing? Taking a stab in the dark and the looks of the stack trace, I think the big clue is in the error: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: No appropriate protocol (protocol is disabled or cipher suites are inappropriate) see this link... community.streamsets.com/common-issues-47/… — Krik
