Adding a JNDI Datasource
By default, Jira runs in Tomcat, so the following example applies to Tomcat only. The user should refer to the application server manual on how to define a data source.
Make sure you have the SQL driver in JIRA_HOME/lib directory. The driver should be proper one for the type of the database you want to use.
Open JIRA_HOME/conf/context.xml file with your favorite text editor. Enter your data source, for instance, between the existing <Context> tags copy the following content:

Example for HSQLDB
Code Block <Resource name="TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="sa" password="" driverClassName="org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver" url="jdbc:hsqldb:/tmp/somedb;create=true;" />Restart Jira.
Check the settings in the Resource tag:
name: the name of the data source
username: The username used for the connection to the databasepassword: The password to connect to the database
driverClassName: The name of the class from the driver. The driver should be the proper jar archive for the type of the database used. In this example the type of the database used is hsqldb
url: The url used to connect to the database

| Note |

If you want to use a column alias in a select sql and use that alias instead of column name you should add "?useOldAliasMetadataBehavior=true" as a configuration parameter in your JDBC url. This is due to a change in My SQL JDBC driver implementation starting from version 5.1. More details can be found here: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=35150 . If you use this parameter in combination with other parameters please see also: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=35753 . |
