Welcome to the Progress DataDirect Autonomous REST Connector for JDBC : Connection URL

Connection URL

After setting the CLASSPATH, the required connection information needs to be passed in the form of a connection URL. The form of the connection URL differs depending on whether you are using a REST file.

For sessions using an input REST file (sessions that use multiple endpoints, POST requests, or other customizations supported by the REST file):

jdbc:datadirect:autorest://servername;Config=rest_file_path;[property=value[;...]];

For sessions using the Sample property:

jdbc:datadirect:autorest:Sample=sample_path;[property=value[;...]];

where:

servername

optionally, specifies the host name portion of the HTTP endpoint to which you send requests. Specify this value only if you want to define endpoints without the web server address in the REST config file.

rest_file_path

specifies the name and location of the input REST file that contains a list of endpoints to sample, PUSH request definitions, and configuration information. See "Creating an input REST file" for details.

property=value

specifies connection property settings. Multiple properties are separated by a semi-colon.

sample_path

specifies the endpoint to sample when not using an input REST file.

The following examples demonstrate URLs for sessions using no authentication:

For sessions using an input REST file:

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:datadirect:autorest:https://example.com/;Config=C:/path/to/myrest.rest;");

For sessions using the Sample property:

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:datadirect:autorest:Sample='https://example.com/countries/';");
