Integrate Salesforce Marketing data into Java servlets: Use the Management Console in JBoss to install the Salesforce Marketing JDBC Driver.
CData JDBC drivers can be configured in JBoss by following the standard procedure for connection pooling. This article details how to access Salesforce Marketing 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 Salesforce Marketing. You will then access Salesforce Marketing data from a connection pool.
Create a JDBC Data Source for Salesforce Marketing 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/SFMarketingCloud
- Select the driver that you added above.
Enter the JDBC URL and the username and password. The syntax of the JDBC URL is jdbc:sfmarketingcloud: followed by a semicolon-separated list of connection properties.
Authenticating to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud APIs
Set the User and Password to your login credentials, or to the credentials for a sandbox user if you are connecting to a sandbox account.
Connecting to the Salesforce Marketing Cloud APIs
By default, the data provider connects to production environments. Set UseSandbox to true to use a Salesforce Marketing Cloud sandbox account.
The default Instance is s7 of the Web Services API; however, if you use a different instance, you can set Instance.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the Salesforce Marketing JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.sfmarketingcloud.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
A typical connection string is below:
jdbc:sfmarketingcloud:User=myUser;Password=myPassword;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH
- Test the connection and finish the wizard. Select the Salesforce Marketing data source and click Enable.
