2. Change the "jdbc-uri" under "localmysql" to "jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1/opentaps?autoReconnect=true&useOldAliasMetadataBehavior=true"

3. Change the "jdbc-username" to "opentaps"

4. Change the "jdbc-password" to the password you chose above

5. Set the correct character set and collation. By default, the entity engine is configured to use case-sensitive Latin character sets. If you are going to use opentaps with a different language, you can change it to UTF8 by setting character-set="utf8" and collate="utf8_general_ci" or at your language's UTF8 setting. Note that MySQL may not support case-sensitive characters for your UTF8 character set.}
