Connection URL

After setting the CLASSPATH, the required connection information needs to be passed in the form of a connection URL.

jdbc:datadirect:jira:servername;User=username;Password=password_token;
[property=value[;...]];

where:

servername

specifies the base URL of the Jira service to which you want to issue requests. For example, http://mycompany.atlassian.net.

Note: Specifying an HTTPS URL for this property enables data encryption.

username

specifies the user name that is used to connect to your Jira service.

password

specifies the password or API token used to connect to your Jira service.

property=value

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

The following example shows how to establish a connection to a Jira service:

Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:datadirect:jira:http://mycompany.atlassian.net;User=jsmith;Password=secret;");
