JBoss – JDBC Connectivity to Relational Databases

DataDirect offers the highest performing, most scalable JDBC drivers for JBoss applications connecting to databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, or MySQL:

  • Proven scalability in application server environments
  • Highly tunable performance without configuration or source code changes
  • Simple to deploy on a production scale
  • Extremely compatible with application server environments

Key Benefits

Proven scalability

DataDirect JDBC drivers are proven in production application server environments in which multiple applications and thousands of simultaneous users are served. For example, see how SPARDAT uses DataDirect JDBC drivers with WebLogic.

Highly tunable performance
  • Robust tuning options make it easy to tune driver performance under JBoss, without requiring changes to source code
  • Ability to tune performance "on the fly" while the driver is in production
  • SPECjAppServer / ECPerf performance and scalability leader
  • Outperforms other JDBC drivers
  • Performance-oriented functionality such as connection pooling, statement pooling, and bulk load

Simple to deploy

DataDirect JDBC drivers are simple to deploy across multiple applications, databases, and application servers. This is because our drivers are composed of a single JAR file that can be used regardless of the JVM or database version in use.

Compatible with application servers

The top web and application server vendors embed or recommend DataDirect JDBC drivers as part of their J2EE certification strategies (JBoss, IBM WebSphere, Sun Microsystems, Oracle BEA, and Macromedia.)

Advanced Functionality
  • Multiple levels of configurable application failover
  • Bulk load operations for loading data as fast as possible
  • Connection pooling
  • SSL data encryption
  • Operating system authentication/Single Sign-On

Reliability and consistency

DataDirect JDBC drivers are quality tested and certified using Sun's Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) and DataDirect's JDBC Verification Suite (JVS), the largest, most mature JDBC testing infrastructure, which tests all JDKs, multiple connection modes, and Java application servers.

Focused technical support

JBoss and DataDirect have a long history of supporting the DataDirect JDBC driver under the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform. DataDirect provides 24/7 support services from experts who are focused exclusively on data connectivity and well-versed in JBoss-related issues.
