Connect to Jumpseller Data from a Connection Pool in Jetty

The CData JDBC driver for Jumpseller is easy to integrate with Java Web applications. This article shows how to efficiently connect to Jumpseller data in Jetty by configuring the driver for connection pooling. You will configure a JNDI resource for Jumpseller 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 Jumpseller data source at the level of the Web app, in WEB-INF\jetty-env.xml.

   
   <Configure id='jumpsellerdemo' class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
       <New id="jumpsellerdemo" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
       <Arg><Ref refid="jumpsellerdemo"/></Arg>
       <Arg>jdbc/jumpsellerdb</Arg>
       <Arg>
         <New class="cdata.jdbc.api.APIDriver">
           <Set name="url">jdbc:api:</Set>
           <Set name="Profile">C:\profiles\Jumpseller.apip</Set>
           <Set name="Authscheme">OAuth</Set>
           <Set name="OAuthClientId">your_client_id</Set>
           <Set name="OAuthClientSecret">your_client_secret</Set>
           <Set name="CallbackUrl">your_callback_url</Set>
         </New>
       </Arg>
     </New>
   </Configure>
   

   Start by setting the Profile connection property to the location of the Jumpseller Profile on disk (e.g. C:\profiles\Jumpseller.apip). Next, set the ProfileSettings connection property to the connection string for Jumpseller (see below).

   Jumpseller API Profile Settings

   In your Jumpseller store admin panel, navigate to Apps > Developers > Add Application to register an OAuth app and obtain a Client ID and Client Secret.

4. Configure the resource in the Web.xml:

   
     jdbc/jumpsellerdb
     javax.sql.DataSource
     Container
   
   

5. You can then access Jumpseller with a lookup to java:comp/env/jdbc/jumpsellerdb:

   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
   DataSource myjumpseller = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/jumpsellerdb");
