Class JdbcDatastoreFieldDescriptor

All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

public class JdbcDatastoreFieldDescriptor extends SelectFieldDescriptor
A field descriptor that will render (in GUI configuration screen) a drop down selection of all the configured JDBC data stores.

The value of this field in the Configuration will be the JNDI name of the Data Store (datasource).

To access a Connection object that is created from the JNDI name, you can use the DataSourceAccessor class. You can also use this JNDI name to perform your own lookup. Here is some example code if you want to do it on your own:

FieldDescriptor jdbcFieldDescriptor = conf.getField( "MyJDBCDatastoreFieldDescriptorName" );
String jndiName = jdbcFieldDescriptor.getValue();

DataSourceAccessor ds = new DataSourceAccessor();

Connection conn = ds.getConnection(jndiName);

      Create a new JdbcDatastoreFieldDescriptor.
      Parameters:
      name - The field name (must be unique per AdapterConfigurationGuiDescriptor or TableDescriptor). This name will also be used as the label for the field in the administrative console. To ensure configuration can be read in future releases of a plugin, it is recommended to not change the names - instead use a label to rename a field in the administrative console.
      description - The field description displayed in the administrative console.
