Connect to Confluence from a Connection Pool in WebLogic

The CData JDBC Driver for Confluence enables you to follow standard procedures to integrate Confluence data into Java Web applications. This article shows how to deploy the CData JDBC Driver for Confluence 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 Confluence

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, confluencejdbc.
   • JDBC Name: Enter the path the JDBC data source will be bound to; for example, jdbc/Confluence.
   • 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.confluence.ConfluenceDriver, in this property.

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

     jdbc:confluence:User=admin;APIToken=myApiToken;Url=https://yoursitename.atlassian.net;Timezone=America/New_York;

     API Token を取得する方法

     API token は、アカウントへの認証に必須です。トークンの生成には、Atlassian アカウントでサービスにログインし、API tokens > Create API token に進みます。生成されたトークンが表示されます。

     Confluence Cloud Account への接続

     Cloud アカウントへの接続には、以下のプロパティを設定します（Password は、Server Instance への接続時のみ必要で、Cloud Account への接続には不要になりました。）:

     • User: Confluence サーバーに認証するユーザー名。
     • APIToken: 認証するユーザーに紐付けられたAPI Token。
     • Url: JIRA エンドポイントのURL。例： https://yoursitename.atlassian.net

     Confluence Server Instance への接続

     Server instance への接続には以下を設定します:

     • User: Confluence Instance に接続するユーザー名。
     • Password: Confluence Instance に接続するユーザーのパスワード。
     • Url: JIRA エンドポイントのURL。例： https://yoursitename.atlassian.net
   • 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 Confluence 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.
