Integrate connectivity to RSS feeds with wizards in IntelliJ.
The CData JDBC Driver for RSS enables you to access RSS as a JDBC data source, providing integration with rapid development tools in IDEs. This article shows how to use the data source configuration wizard to connect to RSS feeds in IntelliJ.
Create a JBDC Data Source for RSS
Follow the steps below to add the driver JAR and define connection properties required to connect to RSS feeds.
- In the Data Sources window, right-click and then click Add Data Source -> DB Data Source.
In the Data Source Properties dialog that appears, the following properties are required:
- JDBC Driver Files: Click the button next to this menu to add the JDBC Driver file cdata.jdbc.rss.jar, located in the installation directory.
- JDBC Driver Class: In this menu, select cdata.jdbc.rss.RSSDriver from the list.
Database URL: Enter the connection URL in the JDBC URL property. The URL must start with jdbc:rss: and includes connection properties separated with semicolons.
You can connect to RSS and Atom feeds, as well as feeds with custom extensions. To connect to a feed, set the URL property. You can also access secure feeds. A variety of authentication mechanisms are supported. See the help documentation for details.
Built-in Connection String Designer
For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the RSS JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.
java -jar cdata.jdbc.rss.jar
Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.
A typical JDBC URL is the following:
jdbc:rss:URI=http://broadcastCorp/rss/;
Edit and Save RSS Feeds
To discover schema information, right-click the data source you just created and click Refresh Tables. To query a table, right-click it and then click Open Tables Editor.
