relative location of driver JAR file [message #20311]

Hi,

Is there a way of referencing a jar file in the JAR list of a driver
(jarList property) using a relative path of the plugin? I would like to
define a driver plugin, which would include the JAR files in the plugin.

I saw bug 140816 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=140816)
that mentions using of the syntax like [plugin-id]/path, but that is not
working for me. Is there anything I might have done incorrectly?

Thanks,
Radim

You should be able to use the [plugin-id]/path method to use the relative
path. You might check a couple of things...

1) Is the plug-in you're referencing accessible from the plug-in with the
referenced path? (Maybe the file is exposed in a separate plug-in?)

2) What does your actual extension point look like? I may be able to see
something in the actual text that could help. (Hard to debug sight unseen.)

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

my extension definition looks like this:

<plugin>
<extension
point="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.driverExtension">
<category
id="com.testapp.ide.db.connectivity.profile.category.testapp "
name="Testapp"/>
<category
id="com.testapp.ide.db.connectivity.profile.category.testapp5 "
name="Testapp 5 Database"

parentCategory="com.testapp.ide.db.connectivity.profile.category.testapp "/>
<driverTemplate
createDefault="false"
emptyJarListIsOK="false"

id=" com.testapp.ide.db.connectivity.profile.drivertemplate.testa pp5 "

jarList=" [com.testapp.ide.db.connectivity.profile]/thirdparty/ojdbc14 .jar "
name="Oracle for Testapp 5"

parentCategory="com.testapp.ide.db.connectivity.profile.category.testapp5 ">
<properties>
<property
generated="false"
id="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.driverClass"
name="Driver Class"
value="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"
required="true"
visible="false"/>
<property
generated="false"
id="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.vendor"
name="Driver Vendor"
value="Oracle"
required="true"
visible="false"/>
<property
generated="false"
id="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.version"
name="Driver Version"
value="9"

visible="false"/>
<property

<property

id="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.URL"
name="JDBC URL"
value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@server:1521:db"
required="true"
visible="true"/>
<property
generated="false"
id="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.username"
name="User"
value="testapp"
required="false"
visible="true"/>
<property

customPropertyDescriptor=" org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.ui.PasswordTextPropertyDe scriptor "
generated="false"
id="org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.db.password"
name="Password"
required="false"
visible="true"/>
</properties>
</driverTemplate>
</extension>

Can you see if there is anything that I am doing wrong? I believe the JAR
file is accessible, it is part of the plugin.

Thanks for your help,
Radim

I think I have identified the problem. It appears to be working only if
there is createDefault property set to "true". It then creates a default
driver instance successfully.

However, if I try to create the driver instance using menu, the
[plugin.id] string is not converted (looking at the source code, the
updatePluginJarList method of the DriverManager class is not called).

Is it a bug or is it an expected behaviour?

Thanks,
Radim

Sounds like a bug. If you make a Bugzilla entry we'll get it fixed.

Thanks!

Hi,
I think, your problum is that, you create a plugin, which one
cammunicating with the database with the help of a data base driver. If
the driver is a jar file, then extract that jar file in the project
directory. in my case, if the programe name is org.test.hello then it is
D:\WorkSpace\org.test.hello\src\ and D:\WorkSpace\org.test.hello\bin\ .
No need any other settings. I am sure it is working.
