6.6.14.0: Properties of JDBC drivers: WebSphere Application Server
- Description
- A description of the driver, for your administrative records.
- Driver Implementation Class, Implementation Class
- Specifies the name of the Java class that implements the driver.
- Jar file, Classpath
- Specifies the path to the JAR file containing the implmentation code for the database driver,
such as db2java.zip file for DB2.
See the reference below for a list
of default locations.
- JTA Enabled
- Specifies whether the driver can handle
Java-based two-phase commit transactions. JTA is a transaction
API for Java applications.
If not performing distributed transactions, set this
value to False.
Note that for Application Server Version 3.0x, the URL Prefix
setting had to contain "jta," in addition to selecting JTA Enabled. For
Version 3.5, selecting JTA Enabled is sufficient. The URL Prefix
value is independent of whether JTA is enabled.
- Name
- Specifies a name for the driver. It is recommended you enter a name that is suggestive
of the database product you are using, such as DB2JdbcDriver.
- Node
- Specifies the node (machine) on which to install the
driver.
- URL prefix
- Specifies the URL prefix with which this driver is associated. The URL prefix is
comprised of the protocol and subprotocol, separated by a colon (":").
The Database Name of the data source is appended to the URL prefix to produce
the full JDBC URL of the database, such as jdbc:db2:was.
The following table lists the default locations of JDBC provider files. See
the product prerequisites Web site for the
most up-to-date information on the operating
system brands and databases supported by IBM WebSphere Application Server.
Column 1 in the table lists the operating system, and
column 2 shows a list of the drivers that are available
for use with each database supported for the operating system.
