That would be "jdbc:mysql://www.abc.com:3356/events". But no responsible hosting provider would let their firewall expose the database to the outside world like that. Try, but don't be surprised if you cannot get a connection.
What you can do is, on
www.abc.com, expose your database functionality as some sort of service accessible over HTTP. This can be RMI tunneled over HTTP, an XML-RPC service, a Web service, or some other HTTP-based service of your own design. You will have to think through the security implications of this, though, especially if you don't have SSL/TLS (HTTPS) support.
