Connect to DB2 database via JNDI

[Former Member]

I am currently using the evaluation copy of the NetWeaver SAP and would like to use the DB2 as back end. In order to connect to the database, a JDBC data source is created. But it is not clear how to connect to the JDBC DataSource from the J2EE application developed in Net Weaver.

This question was also raised by Saumya Dutta Gupta on 23d Nov - but no answers! Come on guys SOMEBODY out there should be able to help us!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ashley,

There are a lot of comprehensive manuals on http://help.sap.com. In your case you could start with <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/82/fdbf2085f65f43a71e755fc904478d/frameset.htm">this</a> one.

HI Ashley,

FOr connecting with the DB try out this following code:

InitialContext ctx=new InitialContext();

DataSource ds=(DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/<db alias name>");

Connection con=ds.getConnection();

THis may workout.
