In most situations it is technically possible to operate JS7 with newer versions of a DBMS or JDBC Driver if the version is actively supported by the DBMS vendor. Users frequently ask if JS7 is compatible with newer versions of a DBMS or JDBC Driver. It's the wrong question and your DBA should know the answer. Consider the following example for Oracle® that similarly applies to other DBMSs:
...
- Hibernate configuration files are used in an XML format.
- JS7 - JOC Cockpit Installation On Premises
- During installation the relevant hibernate configuration file is created and can be manually updated later on.
- After installation of the JOC Cockpit the
hibernate.cfg.xml
Hibernate configuration file is available in- Unix
/var/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc/jetty_base/resources/joc
- Windows
C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\joc\jetty_base\resources\joc
- A different location for the configuration directory can be specified during installation of the JOC Cockpit.
- Unix
- JS7 - JOC Cockpit Installation for Docker Containers
- The JOC Cockpit ships preinstalled from a Docker® imagecontainer image.
- It is therefore recommended that users:
- download/copy one of the Hibernate configuration files listed below to:
/var/sos-berlin.com/js7/joc/jetty_base/resources/joc
- adjust changes to reflect their database connection. For use with H2® you can use the below sample without changes.
- download/copy one of the Hibernate configuration files listed below to:
- By default the Hikari Connection Pool is used.
- Consider that XML requires special characters to be used with escape characters, for example a password in the Hibernate configuration file that includes the character
&
is written as&
. This applies to any values of XML elements and attributes in Hibernate configuration files.- Wrong:
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">sec&ret</property>
- Right:
<property name="hibernate.connection.password">sec&ret</property>
- Wrong:

Explanation:
- The example uses the MySQL® database server running with hostname
mysqlsrv
and port3306
. - The example applies to use of a MySQL® JDBC Driver. Such drivers do not ship with JS7 as they are not available from open source compatible license. Users can download such drivers from the vendor's site.
- For use with MySQL® databases the MariaDB® JDBC Driver can be used that ships with JS7. The class name for this driver is
org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver,
see example for MariaDB®The example uses the MySQL® database server running with hostnamemysqlsrv
and port3306

- Note that the JDBC Driver for SQL Server® has to be downloaded separately as it does not ship with JS7.
- The example uses the SQL Server® database server running with hostname
sqlserversrv
and port1433
. - Note that use of the above parameters with the JDBC URL is required:
sendStringParametersAsUnicode=falsetrue;selectMethod=cursor
- For Windows environments, access to SQL Server can be configured to use integrated security, i.e. using the account that the JOC Cockpit Windows Service is operated with.
- Specify empty values for the
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">
and<property name="hibernate.connection.password">
elements. - Add to the JDBC URL:
integratedSecurity=true
- The account used for the JOC Cockpit Windows Service has to be configured with SQL Server® to allow access to the database.
- The JDBC Driver distribution usually ships with a library for authentication purposes with a name such as
sql_jdbc.dll
ormssql-jdbc_auth-9.2.1.x64.dll
or similar. This library should be added to a location that is specified with the WindowsPATH
environment variable for the JOC Cockpit Windows Service or simply stored in theC:\Windows\System32
directory or in thebin
directory of the Java JDK/JRE in use.

Container installation
When using the JOC Cockpit Docker® image container image then technically no installer is included that allows to specify the JDBC Driver to be used. Instead, images are preinstalled. In addition, there is no access to the container's file system before running the container which makes it impossible to add or replace a JDBC Driver before JOC Cockpit is started.
