Integrate MariaDB data into Java servlets: Use the Management Console in JBoss to install the MariaDB JDBC Driver.
CData JDBC drivers can be configured in JBoss by following the standard procedure for connection pooling. This article details how to access MariaDB data from a connection pool in JBoss applications. This article details how to use the JBoss Management Interface to configure the CData JDBC Driver for MariaDB. You will then access MariaDB data from a connection pool.
Create a JDBC Data Source for MariaDB from the Management Console
Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define required connection properties.
- In the Runtime menu, select the Domain or Server menu, depending on whether you are deploying to a managed domain or to a stand-alone server, and click "Manage deployments" to open the Deployments page.
- Click Add. In the resulting wizard, add the JAR file and license for the driver, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory. Finish the wizard with the defaults, select the driver, and click Enable.
- In the Configuration menu, click Subsystems -> Connector -> Datasources. This opens the JDBC Datasources page.
- Click Add and, in the resulting wizard, enter a name for the driver and the JNDI name. For example:
java:jboss/root/jdbc/MariaDB
- Select the driver that you added above.
Enter the JDBC URL and the username and password. The syntax of the JDBC URL is jdbc:mariadb: followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.
The Server and Port properties must be set to a MariaDB server. If IntegratedSecurity is set to false, then User and Password must be set to valid user credentials. Optionally, Database can be set to connect to a specific database. If not set, the tables from all databases are reported.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the MariaDB JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.mariadb.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
A typical connection string is below:
jdbc:mariadb:User=myUser;Password=myPassword;Database=NorthWind;Server=myServer;Port=3306;
- Test the connection and finish the wizard. Select the MariaDB data source and click Enable.

The steps above show how to configure the driver in a simple connection pooling scenario. For more information, refer to the Data Source Management chapter in the JBoss EAP documentation.
