Re: Setting up JDBC connection to Oracle in 8.5.3

Hi,

Just go to the application properties, and under XPage Libraries, check com.ibm.xsp.extlibx.com. Restart Domino Designer and you should be able to choose JDBCQuery as a datasource.

JDBC Datasource not available

Hi,

I'm using client 8.5.3. On the Advanced application property the lib com.ibm.xsp.extlibx.com is checked. I've restarted client but jdbc datasource doesn't appear !

You also have to install the plugins into the Notes client

I assume you are using this on another Notes client other than your dev. machine. The plugins (Ext Lib and the JDBC driver) have to be installed on each Notes client.

Check out the widget catalog for a way to do this easily to all client computers.

Banging head

Ok, sorry my fault. There is a small difference in the com.ibm.xsp.extlibx.com and com.ibm.xsp.extlib.com libs.

And of course I didn't install the Openntf Lib, because our clients don't want to use it. It's not supported by IBM so don't use it.

I'm curious when a new upgrade pack will become available for Xpages.

details on extlibx

Reference: XPages Extension Library book:

> The second and latest plugin to the XPages Extension Library is ExtLibx. It contains all new controls and features and is an incubation phase for the latest library developments. The features from the ExtLibx may at some point become part of the core product like ExtLib.
