The following example files provide details on creating and using Progress DataDirect data sources with the Java Naming Directory Interface (JNDI), where install_dir is the product installation directory.

  • install_dir/Examples/JNDI/JNDI_LDAP_Example.java can be used to create a JDBC data source and save it in your LDAP directory using the JNDI Provider for LDAP.
  • install_dir/Examples/JNDI/JNDI_FILESYSTEM_Example.java can be used to create a JDBC data source and save it in your local file system using the File System JNDI Provider.

See "Example data source" for an example data source definition for the example files.

To connect using a JNDI data source, the driver needs to access a JNDI data store to persist the data source information. For a JNDI file system implementation, you must download the File System Service Provider from the Oracle Technology Network Java SE Support downloads page, unzip the files to an appropriate location, and add the fscontext.jar and providerutil.jar files to your CLASSPATH. These steps are not required for LDAP implementations because the LDAP Service Provider is included with supported versions of Java SE.
