Configurations for Specific JDBC Drivers

For example:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:customer_db

xa-driver-does-not-support-non-tx-operations - Set to the value true. Optional: only needed if both non-XA and XA connections are retrieved from the same connection pool. Might degrade performance.

As an alternative to setting this property, you can create two connection pools, one for non-XA connections and one for XA connections.

Note – You must set the oracle-xa-recovery-workaround property in the Transaction Service for recovery of global transactions to work correctly. For details, see “Workarounds for Specific Databases” on page 145.

When using this driver, it is not possible to insert more than 2000 bytes of data into a column. To circumvent this problem, use the OCI driver (JDBC type 2).

OCI Oracle Type 2 Driver for Oracle 8.1.7 and 9.x

Databases

The JAR file for the OCI Oracle driver isojdbc14.jar. Make sure that the shared library is available through LD_LIBRARY_PATH and that the ORACLE_HOME property is set. Configure the connection pool using the following settings:

Name: Use this name when you configure the JDBC resource later.

Resource Type: Specify the appropriate value.

Database Vendor: Oracle

DataSource Classname:Specify one of the following:

oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource

oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource

Properties:

user - Set as appropriate.

password - Set as appropriate.

URL - Specify the complete database URL using the following syntax:

jdbc:oracle:oci:[user/password]@host[:port]/service

For example:

jdbc:oracle:oci:@localhost:1521:customer_db
