5.4.3 To create a JavaBean connection with Extensions

Navigate to the directory that contains the javabean.sbo file.

For example, on Microsoft Windows, the file is located in the connectionserver-install-

dir\connectionServer\javabean directory.

Open the SBO file for viewing.

Locate <Parameter Name="Extensions"> element in the Defaults section.

Note:

If you develop a JavaBean driver using the DDK, locate the Extensions parameter in the

<DataBase Active="Yes" Name="Excel Spreadsheet"> element.

Use one or more of the Extensions parameter values to create your own driver directories.

For example, Extensions parameter value is javabean in the Defaults section of the file. You

can then create the connectionserver-install-dir\connectionServer\jav

abean\drivers\javabean directory.

Copy the JAR files into the directories of your choice.

Close the SBO file.

Run the connection wizard.

The JavaBean driver that you have configured appears in the list of available connections.

Select the JavaBean driver and use the wizard to configure the connection.

To load JavaBean drivers, Connection Server searches for JAR files in each directory from the most

specific to the least specific until it finds them. The connection is then available for use.
