Question

I am trying to make db2 work in glassfish with no luck at all. I’ve read the documentation, but no matter what I do I end up stuck with an error when I do a ping. I put the jar files for the db2 driver and connectivity in the classpath prefix, added them to the lib directory of the domain and no go. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your time.

You didn’t mention anything about the datasource creation. Did you create a datasource ?

Here is how you can create one, in the domain.xml file in conf dir of your domain.

<jdbc-resource enabled="true" jndi-name="jdbc/<YOUR_DS_NAME_HERE>" object-type="user" pool-name="<YOUR_POOL_NAME_HERE>">
<description><DESCRIPTION></description>
</jdbc-resource>
<jdbc-connection-pool allow-non-component-callers="false" associate-with-thread="false" connection-creation-retry-attempts="0" connection-creation-retry-interval-in-seconds="10" connection-leak-reclaim="false" connection-leak-timeout-in-seconds="0" connection-validation-method="auto-commit" datasource-classname="com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource" fail-all-connections="true" idle-timeout-in-seconds="140" is-connection-validation-required="true" is-isolation-level-guaranteed="false" lazy-connection-association="false" lazy-connection-enlistment="false" match-connections="false" max-connection-usage-count="0" max-pool-size="32" max-wait-time-in-millis="60000" name="YOUR_POOL_NAME_HERE>" non-transactional-connections="false" pool-resize-quantity="32" res-type="javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource" statement-timeout-in-seconds="-1" steady-pool-size="0" validate-atmost-once-period-in-seconds="0" wrap-jdbc-objects="false">
<description><YOUR_POOL_NAME_HERE_DESCRIPTION></description>
<property name="user" value="<USERNAME>"/>
<property name="password" value="<PASSWORD>"/>
<property name="portNumber" value="<PORTNUMBER>"
<property name="databaseName" value="DATABASE_NAME"/>
<property name="serverName" value="<SERVER_NAME>"/>
<property name="driverType" value="4"/>
</jdbc-connection-pool>

You can also copy the jar files in the $GLASSFISH_HOME/lib dir.
