Connect to Gong Data from a Connection Pool in Jetty

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

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 Gong data source at the level of the Web app, in WEB-INF\jetty-env.xml.

   <Configure id='gongdemo' class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
    <New id="gongdemo" class="org.eclipse.jetty.plus.jndi.Resource">
    <Arg><Ref refid="gongdemo"/></Arg>
    <Arg>jdbc/gongdb</Arg>
    <Arg>
    <New class="cdata.jdbc.api.APIDriver">
    <Set name="url">jdbc:api:</Set>
    <Set name="Profile">C:\profiles\Gong.apip</Set>
    <Set name="AuthScheme">APIKey</Set>
    <Set name="ProfileSettings">'APIKey</Set>
    <Set name="APISecret">your_api_secret</Set>
    <Set name="Domain">your-tenant.api.gong.io'</Set>
    </New>
    </Arg>
    </New>
   </Configure>
   

   To authenticate to Gong, you can use API Key authentication with your Gong API Key and API Secret.

   Authentication

   To authenticate to Gong, you must provide your Gong API Key and API Secret, along with your tenant Domain. These credentials are combined and Base64-encoded to form the Basic authentication header used for all API requests.

   Using API Key Authentication

   To authenticate using an API Key, you need to obtain your API Key and API Secret from your Gong account settings.

   You can then connect by setting the AuthScheme to APIKey and providing your credentials:

   • AuthScheme: Set this to APIKey.
   • APIKey: Set this to your Gong API Key.
   • APISecret: Set this to your Gong API Secret.
   • Domain: Set this to your Gong tenant domain (e.g., us-36533.api.gong.io).

   Example connection string

   Profile=C:\profiles\Gong.apip;AuthScheme=APIKey;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key;APISecret=your_api_secret;Domain=your-tenant.api.gong.io';
   

4. Configure the resource in the Web.xml:

    jdbc/gongdb
    javax.sql.DataSource
    Container
   
   

5. You can then access Gong with a lookup to java:comp/env/jdbc/gongdb:

   InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
   DataSource mygong = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/gongdb");

The steps above show how to configure the driver in a simple connection pooling scenario. For more use cases and information, see the Working with Jetty JNDI chapter in the Jetty documentation.
