Creating a JDBC Data Source

You can create a JDBC data source to connect from your Java application, based on CData JDBC Driver for Authorize.net.

Follow these steps:

1. Add the driver JAR file to the classpath. The JAR file is located in the installation directory's lib subfolder. Ensure that the .lic file is 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, if there is a conflict in your application between drivers using the same URL format, use this form to ensure that you are using the CData driver:
   

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

   Ensure that the URL starts with either jdbc:authorizenet: or jdbc:cdata:authorizenet:. The URL 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.
