i-lign 8.2 release information for inhouse customers

By Sean | September 3, 2017

i-lign 8.2 introduces the Microsoft JDBC connection driver to replace the venerable JTDS JDBC connector.

For in-house customers, the only change required is to the context.xml file. A template file will be available with the new version download. Below is an example of the new database connection string.

  <Resource name="jdbc/ilign"
        auth="Container"
        type="javax.sql.DataSource"
        factory="com.zaxxer.hikari.HikariJNDIFactory"
        dataSource.user="ilign-v82"
        dataSource.password="xxxxxxxxxxxx"
        dataSourceClassName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource"
        dataSource.url="jdbc:sqlserver://<DATABASE-SERVER>:<database-port>;databaseName=ilign-v82" />

And a current example for comparison


  <Resource name="jdbc/ilign"
        auth="Container"
        type="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"
        factory="org.apache.naming.factory.BeanFactory"
        user="ilign-oldversion"
        password="xxxxxxxxxxxx"
        driverClass="net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver"
        jdbcUrl="jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://<DATABASE-SERVER>:<DATABASE-PORT>/ilign-oldversion" />
