    Description

      By default, we will not embed most of the database driver.
      We need to explain how the user will activate a new database type.

      • add the driver jar file somewhere
      • configure its path, default jdbc url, default driver class name
      • restart service?
      • anything else?

      Proposed by TDP:

      • have a config file in the Jdbc component, to give informations to the ui:
        type;jar;driver;url_template
        MySql;mysql-connector-java-5.1.2.jar;org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver;jdbc:mysql://{host}:{port}/{database}
        #Oracle;xxx.jar;com.xxx.jar;xxx
        
      • As much as possible, the config file must contain commented samples for most common DBs
      • To add a new database type capacity to the component, admin will have to:
        • add physically the driver jar file
        • declare (add or uncomment or customize) it in the config file above
