Connect to Sage Intacct Data from a Connection Pool in Jetty



The Sage Intacct JDBC Driver supports connection pooling: This article shows how to connect faster to Sage Intacct data from Web apps in Jetty.

The CData JDBC driver for Sage Intacct is easy to integrate with Java Web applications. This article shows how to efficiently connect to Sage Intacct data in Jetty by configuring the driver for connection pooling. You will configure a JNDI resource for Sage Intacct in Jetty.

Configure the JDBC Driver for Salesforce as a JNDI Data Source

Follow the steps below to connect to Salesforce from Jetty.

  1. Enable the JNDI module for your Jetty base. The following command enables JNDI from the command-line:

    java -jar ../start.jar --add-to-startd=jndi
  2. Add the CData and license file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory, into the lib subfolder of the context path.
  3. Declare the resource and its scope. Enter the required connection properties in the resource declaration. This example declares the Sage Intacct data source at the level of the Web app, in WEB-INF\jetty-env.xml.

    <Configure id='intacctdemo' class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext"> <New id="intacctdemo" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource"> <Arg><Ref refid="intacctdemo"/></Arg> <Arg>jdbc/intacctdb</Arg> <Arg> <New class="cdata.jdbc.sageintacct.SageIntacctDriver"> <Set name="url">jdbc:sageintacct:</Set> <Set name="User">myusername</Set> <Set name="CompanyId">TestCompany</Set> <Set name="Password">mypassword</Set> <Set name="SenderId">Test</Set> <Set name="SenderPassword">abcde123</Set> </New> </Arg> </New> </Configure>

    To connect using the Login method, the following connection properties are required: User, Password, CompanyId, SenderId and SenderPassword.

    User, Password, and CompanyId are the credentials for the account you wish to connect to.

    SenderId and SenderPassword are the Web Services credentials assigned to you by Sage Intacct.

  4. Configure the resource in the Web.xml:

    jdbc/intacctdb javax.sql.DataSource Container
  5. You can then access Sage Intacct with a lookup to java:comp/env/jdbc/intacctdb: InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); DataSource myintacct = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/intacctdb");
