You can connect components to Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise, OmniConnect™, or DirectConnect™ using ODBC, JDBC, or Sybase Open Client Client-Library.
To use ODBC, you must install the Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise ODBC driver. EAServer includes ODBC drivers for some platforms. For details, see the EAServer Installation Guide for your platform.
To use JDBC, use EAServer Manager to define a JDBC connection cache that connects using the JDK 1.3 (or later) implementation of the jConnect driver. EAServer includes jConnect 5.5 or later runtime classes in java/lib/jconn2.jar, which is in the server’s CLASSPATH by default. See the jConnect documentation for details on using jConnect, including:
The URL format for connecting to servers
The driver class name
Installing the jConnect metadata stored procedures on your database servers
The jConnect documentation is available on the EAServer Technical Library CD and is also on the Sybase Web page.
