Deploying and Removing JDBC Drivers
So that you can create a DataSource, you must first deploy the JDBC driver you want to use. The J2EE Engine provides support for both JDBC 1.x and JDBC 2.0-compliant drivers.
You can also remove (un-deploy) the driver entries.
When you first log on to the system, there is already a defined driver. This is the system driver used by the Configuration Manager . You cannot remove this driver using the J2EE Engine administration tools.
You can use the following tools to deploy or remove a JDBC driver:
- Visual Administrator
- Console Administrator
Visual Administrator
To deploy a new JDBC driver, use the Runtime tab of JDBC Connector Service.
- Choose Resources → Drivers.
- Choose
Create New Driver or DataSource on the toolbar.
- Specify an arbitrary name for your driver entry, such as myDriver.
- Browse to the archive file that contains the classes of the driver. You can choose more than one files additionally.
To remove an entry, select it in the Resources → Drivers tree and choose Remove Selected Driver, Standalone Application or DataSource on the toolbar.
Console Administrator
To register a new driver, use deploy_driver command from the DBPOOL command group.
To remove a driver, use undeploy_driver command from the DBPOOL command group.
For more information about these commands, see DBPOOL in the Reference Manual.
