Creating a JDBC Data Source

You can create a JDBC data source to connect from your Java application. Creating a JDBC data source based on the CData JDBC Driver for Authorize.net consists of three basic steps:

1. Add the driver JAR file to the classpath. The JAR file is located in the lib subfolder of the installation directory. Note that the .lic file must be located in the same folder as the JAR file.
2. Provide the driver class. For example:
   

   cdata.jdbc.authorizenet.AuthorizeNetDriver

3. Provide the JDBC URL. For example:
   

   jdbc:authorizenet:LoginID=myLoginID;TransactionKey=myTransactionKey
   
   or
   
   jdbc:cdata:authorizenet:LoginID=myLoginID;TransactionKey=myTransactionKey

   You can use the second format above whenever there is a conflict in your application between drivers using the same URL format to ensure you are using the CData driver. The URL must start with either "jdbc:authorizenet:" or "jdbc:cdata:authorizenet:" and can include any of the connection properties in name-value pairs separated with semicolons.

Connecting to Authorize.net

Before you connect, log into your Merchant account and navigate to Account > Settings. Your account Security Settings section displays the LoginID and TransactionKey.

Now set the following to connect:

• LoginID: The API login Id associated with your payment gateway account. (Note: This value is not the same as the login Id that you use to log in to the Merchant Interface.)
• TransactionKey: The transaction key associated with your payment gateway account.
• UseSandbox: Set to false by default, for use with a production account. If you are using a developer test account, set UseSandbox to true.
