Integrating NonStop JDBC Type 4 Driver With JBoss Applications

Introduction

The HP NonStop JDBC Type 4 Driver (hereafter, the Type 4 Driver) is a high-performing standard

compliant driver providing remote access from Java™ clients to NonStop SQL/MX Release 2.0

Database MP and MX tables. Type 4 Driver is integrated with the features of the NonStop SQL/MX

Database server and provides a highly available and scalable connectivity solution to the HP

NonStop platform.

The purpose of this document is to provide a step-by-step guide to integrating the Type 4 Driver in the

Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) compliant JBoss Application Server. This guide uses the

popular “Duke’s Bank” provided by Sun Microsystems in the J2EE tutorial. Further details about the

application can be found in ”The J2EE Tutorial—Duke’s Bank Application” section of this paper.
