Example data source

To configure a data source using the example files, you will need to create a data source definition. The content required to create a data source definition is divided into three sections.

First, you will need to import the data source class. For example:

import com.ddtek.jdbcx.autorest.AutoRESTDataSource;

Next, you will need to set the values and define the data source. For example, the following definition contains the minimum properties used for a data source that uses a REST file and no authentication:

AutoRESTDataSource mds = new AutoRESTDataSource();
mds.setDescription("My Autonomous REST Connector Data Source");
mds.setServerName("https://example.com/");
mds.setConfig("C:/path/to/myrest.rest");

The following example contains the minimum properties for a data source using no authentication without a REST file.

AutoRESTDataSource mds = new AutoRESTDataSource();
mds.setDescription("My Autonomous REST Connector Data Source");
mds.setSample("http://example.com/country");

Finally, you will need to configure the example application to print out the data source attributes. Note that this code is specific to the driver and should only be used in the example application. For example, you would add the following section for a simple data source using REST file and no authentication:

if (ds instanceof AutoRESTDataSource)
{
AutoRESTDataSource jmds = (AutoRESTDataSource) ds;
System.out.println("description=" + jmds.getDescription());
System.out.println("Config=" + jmds.getConfig());
System.out.println();
}
