Up one level
How to add additional JDBC databases to be used by the RDBMS data resource type

Overview

The service comes complete with interfaces to MySQL and PostgreSQL. There are minor differences between the required interface for one JDBC database and another. To integrate the GRIA OGSA-DAI service with a different JDBC database, follow the method below.

Method

  1. Implement an additional BackendHelper class. For reference, see the MySQLBackendHelper and PostgreSQLBackendHelper.
  2. Put the new class on the classpath of the webapp.
  3. Don't forget to put the JDBC driver jar for the database in the tomcat classpath.
  4. In the database server configuration tool of the service's web interface, add the class name of the new BackendHelper and save changes.
