Class JDBCHandler

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.jconfig.handler.JDBCHandler
All Implemented Interfaces:
ConfigurationHandler

public class JDBCHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements ConfigurationHandler

This implementation provides the basic requirements for a JDBC Handler. The database structure is quite simple. It is a based on a Configuration table (T_CONFIGURATION), a Category table (T_CATEGORY), a Property table (T_PROPERTY) and a Variable table (T_VARIABLE). A Configuration can have 1:many Categories and 1:many Variables. A Category can have 1:many Properties. Implementation does require that the database support some sort of auto-increment for the object identifier (oid), if you want to store the Configurations. One problem with the implementation is the ability to store the variable information within the properties. This is an inherent problem with all of the ConfigurationHandlers. Following properties need to set inside of the jconfig.properties file: org.jconfig.jdbc.driver org.jconfig.jdbc.user org.jconfig.jdbc.pwd org.jconfig.jdbc.url
