8 - Installing JARs not bundled with Infinit.e

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/ http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/amazonaws/aws-java-sdk/1.4.2/aws-java-sdk-1.4.2.jar	aws-java-sdk-1.4.2.jar (NOT ANY OTHER JARS FROM THE ZIP!)
Jython (Python/Java)	http://www.jython.org/downloads.html	jython-standalone-2.5.3.jar

Installation of JARS

To install your JAR files and make them accesible to Infinit.e place them in the following directory:

/opt/infinite-home/lib/extractors

(to test sources using the above drivers the Interface Engine must be restarted, eg "service tomcat6-interface-engine restart")

Previous versions of this document suggested (and pre Feb 2012 versions of Infinit.e required) placing these files in "JRE_HOME/lib/ext" instead. There is no functional need to move the JARs, although it is recommended for consistency.
