Connection to AWS RDS Postgres with a JAVA Web App - postgresql

Question

I have a Web App that is a RESTful WebService. It tries to connect to a Postgres DB that is located on the Amazon Cloud. Whenever I have a request, it tries to connect to the DB using JPA and Hibernate.
I get the error in this line:
factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("RestWebServiceIDSaude");
The persistence-unit "RestWebServiceIDSaude" is defined as follows:
<persistence-unit name="RestWebServiceIDSaude">
<provider>org.hibernate.ejb.HibernatePersistence</provider>
<class>com.tasn.rest.model.PessoaVO</class>
<properties>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="postgres"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="*******"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:postgresql://tgttgrrgddrdtyoy19w.cj2rnlksrkg4.sa-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/db"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="org.postgresql.Driver"/>
<property name="hibernate.cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider"/>
<property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect"/>
<property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit" value="false"/>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>
<property name ="hibernate.show_sql" value = "true" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
It doesn't matter whether the Web App is running in a AWS Instance or in my machine, I always get these error:
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Unable to build entity manager factory...
org.hibernate.HibernateException: Unable to make JDBC Connection [aascscscstrvdvdyoy19w.cj2rnlksrkg4.sa-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com:5432/db]...
If anyone could help me out, I'd be really grateful. Feel free to ask any other piece of code or ask other questions.

Answer 1

Lets look at the stack trace. The causes are listed from least specific (outermost) to most specific (innermost):
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Unable to build entity manager factory
...
Caused by: org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: Error calling Driver#connect
...
Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: A tentativa de conexão falhou.
...
Caused by: java.net.UnknownHostException: aa1kooitryoy19w.cj2rnlksrkg4.sa-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com
so, we can see that:
JPA tried to create an entity manager factory, which failed because...
Hibernate asked the JDBC driver to make a connection and it failed because...
the JDBC driver reported the error A tentativa de conexão falhou (The connection attempt failed) because ...
when attempting to look up the host name aa1kooitryoy19w.cj2rnlksrkg4.sa-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com to make a TCP/IP connection to it in order to connect, the host name could not be found.
So:
The hostname aa1kooitryoy19w.cj2rnlksrkg4.sa-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com doesn't exist; or
Your DNS resolver setup is broken
