Re: JDBC conncetion fails, please, advise

Is your client machine on the same machine as the database?

Your pg_hba.conf file needs to have an entry in it that covers your
client machine. It's not 100% clear from your post whether you've
achieved that or not (I think you've added your server to the
pg_hba.conf, not your client).

So if my server is on 192.168.2.1 and my client is 10.10.10.1 then the
pg_hba.conf file needs:

# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD

# IPv4 non-local connections:
host all all 10.10.10.1/32 trust

And the jdbc connect string will be something like
jdbc:postgresql://192.168.2.1/my_database

Can you post your pg_hba.conf file?

Cheers,
Robin
