Java EE - PhpMyAdmin - How to connect?

So my mentor told me that connecting database in Java EE is different from SE. I am starting learning Java EE and I was wondering if anyone can help me how to connect Java EE using PhpMyAdmin.

I would appreciate if you could help me or post me links for tutorials since I cant find anything on google.

Thanks :)

Define 'connect'? PhpMyAdmin is written in php, JavaEE is java. Apples and Oranges. You can query MySQL directly using JDBC.
