database connector Database Connector is a web application that allows you to easily integrate your Live Forms forms and - A Servlet Container compatible with the Servlet 2.5 specification. For instance, Tomcat (6 or higher) or Jetty (6 or higher). If you have installed the tomcat In-house bundle you already have what you need.
- A JDBC driver for your database.
The database connector download comes with several pre-installed drivers. See Install a JDBC driver belowflows with your external database. The connector can be added to your Live Forms tomcat bundle. A Standalone Bundle is also available. The Database Connector may function with other servlets and databases only the ones listed on the Supported Platforms page have been certified by frevvo Cloud customers, who are integrating with their database in their on-premise installation and in-house customers, can choose to: - install the Database Connector in your Live Forms tomcat bundle on their in-house server OR
- install the Standalone Bundle on their in-house server
We recommend the frevvo-tomcat bundle for in-house customers. Follow the frevvo-tomcat bundle Instructions. We recommend the Standalone bundle for cloud customers as no additional servlet container is needed. Standalone is also useful for in-house customers who want to run the connector on a different server than the Live Forms server installation. Follow the Standalone Bundle Instructions The Database Connector requires a JDBC driver for your database. Some pre-installed drivers are included with the connector. See Install a JDBC driver to see if the driver for your database is provided. The Database Connector contains a working sample Derby database with BIRT and MyStore query sets and some test data. This makes it very easy to test if the DB Connector is up and running when your installation is complete. When you complete the Installation instructions then follow the Connector Configuration Instructions - detailed steps to integrate the connector with your database. Cloud customers must also verify connector connectivity to the frevvo Cloud Server. |
