In an application server environment, the system on which the JDBC application runs also has the JDBC driver installed. This configuration provides good performance when users are on the same system or can execute the JDBC application across a network.
To set up the JDBC Driver, you must have access to a system (Unix or Windows) where the FairCom DB SQL libraries and executable files have been built. On both Windows and Unix, the JDBC class files are created in the classes\ctreeJDBC.jar file.
If the application server is a different system than the system used for those FairCom DB SQL libraries and executables, you may need to copy the jar file to the application server. Then, you need to set the CLASSPATH environment variable to include the directory where the class files reside.
The following sections describe these steps.
