JDBC driver

It is possible to integrate the JDBC drivers as a FirstSpirit module to enable simultaneous use of various versions of a JDBC driver in different FirstSpirit projects and to exchange the JDBC driver while the FirstSpirit server is running without restarting it. The JAR file of the JDBC driver, including an additional Descriptor file is combined here in an FSM file (ZIP archive). This FirstSpirit module is then referred to in the layer configuration via the additional module parameter.

Note: If database driver files exist in the directory .../shared/lib-isolated(not recommended!) these are used with priority (instead of an existing JDBC driver module).

The following files are required to create a JDBC driver module:

• file(s) of the JDBC driver, e.g. JAR file, licences etc. (see Files of the driver)
• file module.xml  (see module.xml and web.xml)

optionally:

• file web.xml (see module.xml and web.xml)

These files must be integrated by means of an FSM file (ZIP archive) to a FirstSpirit module.
