~~Title: Database Connection via JNDI~~

If you use the [[jvx:server:security:dbsecman|DBSecurityManager]] for authentication, or if you use a database in your application, the [[jvx:server:storage:datasourcehandler_dbcredentials|configuration]] is in your applications config.xml.

The configuration is plain xml, and it's possible to [[jvx:server:security:config_encrypt|use encryption]]. It's also possible to read the [[jvx:common:setup:zones|configuration via JNDI]].

Another option is to use JNDI to create a database connection. In this case, you should set the JDBC URL to something like this:

<file xml config.xml>
<application>
  ...
  <securitymanager>
    <class>com.sibvisions.rad.server.security.DBSecurityManager</class>
    <database>
      <url>java:/comp/env/jvx/myapp/config/db</url>
    </database>
  </securitymanager>
  ...
</application>
</file>

The JNDI resource can be an instance of DBAccess, IConnectionPool, java.sql.Connection or javax.sql.DataSource.

The application code, e.g., in your Session LCO:

<file java>
protected DBAccess getDBAccess() throws Exception
{
    DBAccess dba = (DBAccess)get("dBAccess");

    if (dba == null)
    {
        DBCredentials dbcred = DBSecurityManager.getCredentials(SessionContext.getCurrentSessionConfig());

        //no credentials -> no database access possible (should not happen, only if configuration is not finished)
        if (dbcred != null)
        {
            dba = DBAccess.getDBAccess(dbcred);
            dba.open();

            put("dBAccess", dba);
        }
    }

    return dba;
}
</file>
will work without changes.
