how to connect hibernate and DB2

Muhammad Imran Tariq picture Muhammad Imran Tariq · Mar 31, 2011 · Viewed 39.1k times · Source

I am running an application that used struts and hibernate. I am currently using Derby database. Now i have to shift on DB2 database.

Please tell me

  • what Configuration I have to do in hibernate configuration file?
  • Do I have to set any classpath variable?
  • I know there are two jars for DB2 (db2jcc.jar & db2jcc_license_cu.jar). Is there any other jar I may need?

Thanks in advance.

It should work with db2jcc.jar

Add below properties to your hibernate.cfg.xml

<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.DB2Dialect</property>

<property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver</property>

<property name="connection.url">jdbc:db2://<host>:<port50000>/<dbname></property>

<property name="connection.username">dbusername</property>

<property name="connection.password">dbpassword</property>

Change last 3 properties according to your configuration
