JDBC Applications and the Windows Environment

JDBC-enabled applications running on Windows must be able to find the CA Datacom Server executable files, which include both Java classes and native DLLs.

• The startup executable for the Java VM is installed in the WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 or WINDOWS\SYSTEM64 directory.
• The proprietary interface DLL's are typically installed in the \Program Files\CA\CA DatacomServer. The sample batch files set this.
• Applications can connect to a database using the JDBC DriverManager class with a URL or using a JNDI server with a DatacomDataSource object.
• For an applet to use the JDBC driver, the classes must be accessible to web pages accessed from the web server, and the subdirectory containing cadcjdbc.jar should be defined to the web server. For the Microsoft IIS, define a virtual directory pointing to this directory.
