Introduction
Infinit.e's installers do not bundle all Java Archive files the may be needed to support connectivity to external datasources (currently all JDBC databases) due to licensing restrictions. Common JAR files include:
| Name or Desc. | Download Site | Tested JAR Version |
|---|---|---|
| MySQL JDBC Driver | http://dev.mysql.com/ | mysql-connector-java-5.1.15-bin.jar |
| PostgreSQL JDB Driver | http://www.postgresql.org/ | postgresql-9.1-901.jdbc4.jar |
| SQL Server and Sybase JDBC Driver | http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ | jtds-1.2.5.jar |
| Oracle JDBC Driver | http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database | ojdbc6.jar |
| DB2 JDBC Driver | http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21363866 | db2jcc4.jar |
Amazon AWS SDK (ONLY NEEDED FOR S3 HARVESTING) | http://aws.amazon.com/sdkforjava/ | aws-java-sdk-1.4.2.jar |
Installation of JARS
To install your JAR files and make them accesible to Infinit.e place them in the following directory:
JRE_HOME/lib/ext
which is usually:
/usr/java/default/lib/ext (JRE installed)
/usr/java/default/jre/lib/ext (JDK installed)
- (eg in some cases after Hadoop has been installed - check before picking a location)
Should also work.
