Connection pool when using JSDriverManagerDataSource

[js.um]

Hi All, 

I have deployed Jasper Report Server 8.2 with external database authentication, however, when I stress testing Jasper Server, I found that the server creates lots of sessions to the database, querying the credential.

May I know if using a connection pool with external database authentication is possible? 

Thanks.

Joe

Hello,

External database authentication is possible. More information can be found here:

https://community.jaspersoft.com/documentation/tibco-jasperreports-server-authentication-cookbook/v80/external-database

In most situations, customizing the sample template will work. I hope this helps.

Regards,

I have successfully configured connection pooling for external database authentication.

1. Add your datasource for authentication to webapps/{js-app}/META-INF/Context.xml

   1. <Resource name="jdbc/myAuthDs" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="10" maxIdle="5" maxWait="10000" username="username" password="password" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver"        url="jdbcurl" factory="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.tomcat.jndi.JSCommonsBasicDataSourceFactory"/>[/code]

       

2. Edit your applicationContext-externalAuth.xml
   1. define your externalDataSource bean like so 

      <bean id="externalDataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">    <property name="jndiName" value="java:comp/env/jdbc/myAuthDs"/></bean>[/code]

   2. Reference the bean above in externalUserDetailsService bean

      <bean id="externalUserDetailsService" class="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.security.externalAuth.db.ExternalJDBCUserDetailsService">    <property name="dataSource" ref="externalDataSource"/>    ...</bean>[/code]
