Connect to Exact Online from a Connection Pool in WebLogic

The CData JDBC Driver for ExactOnline enables you to follow standard procedures to integrate Exact Online data into Java Web applications. This article shows how to deploy the CData JDBC Driver for ExactOnline in WebLogic server.

Install the JDBC Driver in WebLogic Server

Add the driver JAR and license file to the classpath your application will be using. The .lic file must be located in the same folder as the JAR. These files are located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.

If you want to add the driver to all domains, add the JAR to the WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH environment variable. add the following line to the commEnv.cmd/sh script in WL_HOME\common\bin\.

If you want to add the driver to a specific domain, you will need to add the JAR to the PRE_CLASSPATH environment variable. Add the following line to the setDomainEnv.cmd/sh script in the bin subfolder of the folder for that domain:

Create a JDBC Data Source for ExactOnline

After installing the driver, create the connection.

1. In the Domain Structure tree, click Services -> Data Sources -> New -> Generic Data Source.
2. On the JDBC Data Source Properties page, enter the following information:
   • Name: Enter a user-friendly name; for example, exactonlinejdbc.
   • JDBC Name: Enter the path the JDBC data source will be bound to; for example, jdbc/ExactOnline.
   • Database Type: Select Other.

3. Click Next to use the default options. On the last page, enter the following information and click Test Configuration:

   • Driver Class Name: Enter the driver class, cdata.jdbc.exactonline.ExactOnlineDriver, in this property.

   • URL: Enter the JDBC URL. A typical JDBC URL is below:

     jdbc:exactonline:Region='United States';Division=5512;

     Exact Online はOAuth 認証標準を使用します。InitiateOAuth 接続プロパティはOAuth フローを容易にします。デフォルトではGETANDREFRESH です。埋め込みクレデンシャルを使用する、またはExact にOAuth アプリを登録して独自のクレデンシャルを取得することもできます。 OAuth 値に加え、Region を指定します。Division が設定されない場合は、デフォルトのDivision が使用されます。

     詳しくは、ヘルプドキュメントの「はじめに」を参照してください。

   • Database User Name: Enter the username, if not specified in the JDBC URL.
   • Password: Enter the password, if not specified in the JDBC URL.

After selecting the server where you want to deploy the JDBC data source, you can now connect to Exact Online data.

More WebLogic Integration

The steps above show how configure the driver in a simple connection pooling scenario. For more use cases and information, see the JDBC sections in the WebLogic Data Sources chapter of the Oracle Fusion Middleware documentation.
