+  
+  Connection to an LTPDA Repository is normally carried out as part of other processes. For example, when submitting an 
+  object to the repository using the <tt>submit</tt> command, the user is prompted to login to the chosen repository.
+</p>
+<p>
+  It is also possible to connect to a repository using a script interface. The result is a connection object which can 
+  be passed to other methods (for example, <tt>submit</tt>), thus allowing the construction of more automated procedures
+  for interacting with repositories.
+</p>
+<p>
+  To connect to a repository using the script interface, us the command <tt>utils.jmysql.connect</tt>. It takes the following input arguments:
+
+  <table border="1" cellpadding="2" width="30%" bgcolor="#DDDDDD">
+    <tr valign="top">
+      <td><tt>hostname</tt></td><td>A hostname for the repository</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr valign="top">
+      <td><tt>dbname</tt></td><td>A database name to connect to</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr valign="top">
+      <td><tt>username</tt></td><td>[optional] A username to connect with</td>
+    </tr>
+    <tr valign="top">
+      <td><tt>username</tt></td><td>[optional] A password to connect with</td>
+    </tr>
+  </table>
+  
+  <br> If you don't supply them as input arguments, you will then be prompted for a 
+  valid username and password.
+<br>
+The result is a <tt>mpipeline.repository.RepositoryConnection</tt> object which can be further used to interact with the repository.
+<br>
+To disconnect from the server, use the <tt>closeConnection</tt> method of the <tt>mpipeline.repository.RepositoryConnection</tt> class:
+
+<div class="fragment"><pre>
+	>> conn.closeConnection
+</pre></div>	
+	
+</p>
