How to add custom JDBC driver to JasperSoft Studio

Question:

We have a custom JDBC driver which we need to

register in JasperStudio in order to write reports.

JS allows Data Adapters to be defined and these include a Driver Classpath.

However, despite adding the relevant jar to the Driver Classpath, the drop down list

does not display the custom JDBC Driver class for selection.

What are the correct steps for adding a custom JDBC driver?

Answer:

This question has been discussed with our development team.

I can confirm that the steps that are listed above are correct,

the driver should not appear in the drop down list but instead

of this you should fill in the information about class path and

driver's url string manually.

In the drop down list is present a limited number of well known drivers,

but this can not be done for all possible/custom drivers.

If you need to add a custom JDBC driver, please fill in the relevant  

information manually, according to the documentation that

is provided by the driver's vendor.
