To use an InstantDB database with an DODS application:
1. In the application configuration file <appName>/output/conf/<appName>.conf (or better, in <appName>/input/conf/<appName>.conf.in ) set the following line:
DatabaseManager.DB.<database_id>.Connection.Url = "jdbc:idb:<propFile>.prp"
where <propFile> is the full path to the database properties file, and <database_id> is the database identifier used in the configuration file.
2. In the same configuration file, identify the JDBC driver with the line:
DatabaseManager.DB.<database_id>.JdbcDriver = "org.enhydra.instantdb.jdbc.idbDriver"
3. Add the path to idb.jar to the setting for CLASSPATH in the application’s run script, in <appName>/run, or better in . <appName>/run.in.
