Configure the CData JDBC Driver for Claude Compliance in a Connection Pool in Tomcat

The CData JDBC Drivers support standard JDBC interfaces to integrate with Web applications running on the JVM. This article details how to connect to Claude Compliance data from a connection pool in Tomcat.

Connect to Claude Compliance Data through a Connection Pool in Tomcat

1. Copy the CData JAR and CData .lic file to $CATALINA_HOME/lib. The CData JAR is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory.
2. Add a definition of the resource to the context. Specify the JDBC URL here.

   The driver connects to Claude Compliance using a Compliance Access Key, the only supported authentication method. Set the following connection property:

   • APIKey: The Compliance Access Key you created.

   Creating a Compliance Access Key

   1. Enable the Compliance API for your organization.
   2. Sign in to claude.ai as a primary owner or organization owner and open Organization settings > API > Keys.
   3. Select Create Key and assign only the scopes your integration needs:
      • read:compliance_activities for Activities and the typed activity views.
      • read:compliance_org_data for organizations, roles, groups, and settings.
      • read:compliance_user_data for users, chats, files, projects, and downloads.
      • delete:compliance_user_data for the explicit Delete stored procedures.
   4. Create the key and copy it when it appears. The key starts with sk-ant-api01- and is shown only once.

   Optionally, set OrganizationUUID to limit organization-scoped views (such as OrganizationUsers and ComplianceRoles) to a single linked organization. If it is left empty, those views default to the first available organization and do not include data from all linked organizations.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Claude Compliance JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   
   java -jar cdata.jdbc.claudecompliance.jar
   

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   

   You can see the JDBC URL specified in the resource definition below.

   
   
   <Resource name="jdbc/claudecompliance"   auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" driverClassName="cdata.jdbc.claudecompliance.ClaudeComplianceDriver" factory="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory" url="jdbc:claudecompliance:APIKey=your_compliance_access_key;" maxActive="20" maxIdle="10" maxWait="-1" />
   

   To allow a single application to access Claude Compliance data, add the code above to the context.xml in the application's META-INF directory.

   For a shared resource configuration, add the code above to the context.xml located in $CATALINA_BASE/conf. A shared resource configuration provides connectivity to Claude Compliance for all applications.

3. Add a reference to the resource to the web.xml for the application.

   
   
     Claude Compliance data JSP
     jdbc/ClaudeCompliance
     javax.sql.DataSource
     Container
   
   

4. Initialize connections from the connection pool:

   
   Context initContext = new InitialContext();
   Context envContext  = (Context)initContext.lookup("java:/comp/env");
   DataSource ds = (DataSource)envContext.lookup("jdbc/ClaudeCompliance");
   Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
