The CONNX JDBC Router component is only necessary if Web applications
are served by a Web server located on a different machine than the JDBC
Server. The router is necessary because applet security states that a
socket connection must be made only to the Web server machine.
The router is a Java application placed on the Web server. It is stored
in the connxRouter.jar file which is located in C:\CONNX32\CONNXJDBC\java\jar\connxRouter.jar,
and in the redistributable Java jar file, C:\CONNX32\CONNXJDBC\java\ftp\CONNXjdbcftp.jar.
The parameters for the router are as follows:
IP# of CONNX JDBC Server
Port# of CONNX JDBC Server
Port# of CONNX JDBC Router
The router can be invoked as a Java application with the following command, typed within your Java program code:
Java -classpath <location and name of CONNXRouter.jar> com.CONNX.Router.TCRouter <machine name of CONNX JDBC Server or machine ip address or alias> <PORT# of CONNX JDBC Server> <Port# of Router>
Java -classpath C:\CONNX32\CONNXJDBC\java\jar\connxRouter.jar com.CONNX.Router.TCRouter MyServerMachine127.00.00.01 7500 7503
The Java client applications must connect to the Java Router, and address the fact that the Port number may differ from the default.
Note: It is recommended that the JDBC Server run on the same machine as the Web server. The JDBC Router is only used in environments where this is not possible.
