Question

I am running an application that used struts and hibernate. I am currently using Derby database.
Now i have to shift on DB2 database.

Please tell me

• what Configuration I have to do in
  hibernate configuration file?
• Do I have to set any classpath
  variable?
• I know there are two jars for DB2
  (db2jcc.jar & db2jcc_license_cu.jar).
  Is there any other jar I may need?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It should work with db2jcc.jar

Add below properties to your hibernate.cfg.xml

<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect</property>

<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver</property>

<property name="connection.url">jdbc:db2://<host>:<port50000>/<dbname></property>

<property name="connection.username">dbusername</property>

<property name="connection.password">dbpassword</property>

Change last 3 properties according to your configuration
