SMILA/Documentation/Adding JDBC Drivers

Adding JDBC Drivers

By default SMILA includes only JDBC drivers for Derby. If you want to access other databases then you have to provide according JDBC drivers. To add a JDBC driver you have to do the following steps:

  • Copy your JDBC driver jars into folder SMILA/plugins/org.eclipse.smila.jdbc/lib
  • Edit SMILA/plugins/org.eclipse.smila.jdbc/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and add the jars to the bundle classpath, e.g.
Bundle-ClassPath: .,
 lib/postgresql-9.1-902.jdbc4.jar,
 lib/mysql-connector-java-5.1.20-bin.jar
  • Do not forget the whitespace character in front of the path.
  • JDBC-4-compliant drivers should be found automatically after a restart. For other drivers you must add the driver class name to the SMILA-JDBC header in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, e.g.
SMILA-JDBC: org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver,
 org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver
