Connecting Java to mysql from and on localhost

Hi, I'm writing a Java program that needs to connect to a local mysql database on the same device. The connection works but the issue I have is that the mysql database sees the connection coming from the devices LAN ip rather than from localhost. I can see this through running show processlist where the user is XYZ-Interface in the example below.

mysql> show processlist;
+------+---------------+------------------+-----------+---------+------+-------+------------------+
| Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info |
+------+---------------+------------------+-----------+---------+------+-------+------------------+
| 6814 | XYZ-Interface | 10.10.1.61:60038 | XYZ | Sleep | 3 | | NULL |
+------+---------------+------------------+-----------+---------+------+-------+------------------+

To create the connection I'm simply calling the following connection class

Code:

class MySql {
  private static Connection conn;
  public static void connect() {
    try {
      Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.driver");
      conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/XYZ","XYZ-Interface","PASSWORD");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

Is this simply something I'm doing wrong or is there a reason it can't be done?
Thanks for any help.
