Connect to NetSuite Data from a Connection Pool in Jetty


The NetSuite JDBC Driver supports connection pooling: This article shows how to connect faster to NetSuite data from Web apps in Jetty.

The CData JDBC driver for NetSuite is easy to integrate with Java Web applications. This article shows how to efficiently connect to NetSuite data in Jetty by configuring the driver for connection pooling. You will configure a JNDI resource for NetSuite in Jetty.

About NetSuite Data Integration

CData provides the easiest way to access and integrate live data from Oracle NetSuite. Customers use CData connectivity to:

  • Access all editions of NetSuite, including Standard, CRM, and OneWorld.
  • Connect with all versions of the SuiteTalk API (SOAP-based) and SuiteQL, which functions like SQL, enabling easier data querying and manipulation.
  • Access predefined and custom reports through support for Saved Searches.
  • Securely authenticate with Token-based and OAuth 2.0, ensuring compatibility and security for all use cases.
  • Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional actions like uploading or downloading files, attaching or detaching records or relationships, retrieving roles, getting extra table or column info, getting job results, and more.

Customers use CData solutions to access live NetSuite data from their preferred analytics tools, Power BI and Excel. They also use CData's solutions to integrate their NetSuite data into comprehensive databases and data warehouse using CData Sync directly or leveraging CData's compatibility with other applications like Azure Data Factory. CData also helps Oracle NetSuite customers easily write apps that can pull data from and push data to NetSuite, allowing organizations to integrate data from other sources with NetSuite.

Getting Started


Configure the JDBC Driver for Salesforce as a JNDI Data Source

Follow the steps below to connect to Salesforce from Jetty.

  1. Enable the JNDI module for your Jetty base. The following command enables JNDI from the command-line:

    java -jar ../start.jar --add-to-startd=jndi
  2. Add the CData and license file, located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory, into the lib subfolder of the context path.

  3. Declare the resource and its scope. Enter the required connection properties in the resource declaration. This example declares the NetSuite data source at the level of the Web app, in WEB-INF\jetty-env.xml.

    <Configure id='netsuitedemo' class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext"> <New id="netsuitedemo" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource"> <Arg><Ref refid="netsuitedemo"/></Arg> <Arg>jdbc/netsuitedb</Arg> <Arg> <New class="cdata.jdbc.netsuite.NetSuiteDriver"> <Set name="url">jdbc:netsuite:</Set> <Set name="Account Id">XABC123456</Set> <Set name="Password">password</Set> <Set name="User">user</Set> <Set name="Role Id">3</Set> <Set name="Version">2013_1</Set> </New> </Arg> </New> </Configure>

    The User and Password properties, under the Authentication section, must be set to valid NetSuite user credentials. In addition, the AccountId must be set to the ID of a company account that can be used by the specified User. The RoleId can be optionally specified to log in the user with limited permissions.

    See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for more information on connecting to NetSuite.

  4. Configure the resource in the Web.xml:

    jdbc/netsuitedb javax.sql.DataSource Container

  5. You can then access NetSuite with a lookup to java:comp/env/jdbc/netsuitedb: InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); DataSource mynetsuite = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/netsuitedb");
