5.4 Creating JavaBean connections
A data access driver that uses a JavaBean is installed when you install the SAP BusinessObjects
Business Intelligence platform. It is located in the connectionserver-install-dir\connection
Server\drivers\java directory.
Developers can also create JavaBeans that provide access to data sources. You can create connections
using these JavaBeans. In order to create a JavaBeans connection, the developers who create the
JavaBean will supply:
• the required JAR files
• any other files that the JavaBean requires
• any specific configuration details that the JavaBean driver requires
As for JDBC connections, you can also create a JavaBean connection by using the Extensions
functionality.
Note:
Within a JavaBean driver, data-retrieval procedures are configured as stored procedures. When creating
a JavaBean connection from the connection wizard, you must check Filter Stored Procedures Network
