Re: JDBC connection using *CURRENT?

Hi David,

The JTOpen/jt400 JDBC driver will also work if you pass null for the UserId
and Password. Here's an example using the reflection capabilities of the
JDBC client shipped with JTOpen (see
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ibmi/library/i-jtopen-jdbc-client/index.html
for details).

$ java -jar /qibm/proddata/os400/jt400/lib/jt400.jar jdbc:as400:localhost

!setvar C1=java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:as400:localhost")

C1=MYHOST

!setvar

C1=java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:as400:localhost",null,null)
Not calling method getConnection with java.lang.String
java.util.Properties because argsLeft = null)
C1=MYHOST

Using "*CURRENT" does not work (and isn't supposed to work).

!setvar

C1=java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:as400:localhost","*CURRENT",null)
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
...
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: The application server rejected the
connection. (The user ID or password contains a character that is not
valid.)
at com.ibm.as400.access.JDError.createSQLExceptionSubClass(JDError.java:836)

A datasource will also work, but don't set the userid or password

!setnewvar DS=com.ibm.as400.access.AS400JDBCDataSource("localhost")

Not calling constructor with () because argsLeft = "localhost")
DS=

!setvar C1=DS.getConnection()

C1=MYHOST


I hope this helps.

John

If you use the driver com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver and specify the URL
