Allow custom jdbc connection properities in installer

Mike Zhao shared this idea ago

Idea Logged

Currently when building the connection to the Yellowfin configuration database, our installer will construct the jdbc url for the client based on certain properties (db name, host, etc)

Unfortunately this means any additional parameters required by the client (namely SSL connections) are not available without modifying the web.xml file after installation. It would be nice to be able to specify the connection string manually or allow users the option to include additional parameters of their own:

option.db.jdbcurl = jtds:jdbc://localhost:1433/mydb?param1=x

option.db.connectionparams = usessl=true;myparam=false;

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the quick feedback. I will track this ticket, this will allow us to provide all installer customization in an unified approach.

There could be some minor implementation details, like when url is provided, then no need to provide JDBC type etc. But I will let the development team to make their choices.

Thanks,

Mike
