The Java Driver (JDriver)
The Java Driver, also known as JDriver, consists of a JAR file used with your Java application code.
To use JDriver:
1. | Ensure that you installed the Java SE SDK (also commonly referred to as the JDK). You can download it from Oracle. |
2. | Define an environment variable JAVA_HOME that contains the location of the JDK. |
Each of the Java examples in the examples
directory of the GridServer SDK includes env
, build
, and run
scripts. The examples demonstrate how to properly set classpaths and environment variables to run a Java application using JDriver.
To use the Driver, add the DSDriver.jar
file and the config
directory of the GridServer SDK to your classpath when running your application. Additionally, a DSDriverNoDeps.jar
is included, which contains only DataSynapse classes and no third-party dependencies, allowing you to upgrade these dependencies if and when necessary.
