Using JDBC driver for Spotfire - Mongo DB connection

[Chris Brawn]

Hi,

I'm trying to install a JDBC driver for Mongo DB connectivity. I'm able to create the Data source (through the configuration tool) with a message saying "Validation of the data source template definition failed: Database driver mongodb.jdbc. MongoDriver not found." however when it comes to the files themselves I can't find a Jar file that has a driver(class) included. So I thought I'd bypass this butwhen I go to add a new Data Source (in Spotfire Analyst) with a type MongoDB. It comes with an error message complaining about the class name (Error initializing data source with name 'test-connection': Cannot instantiate JDBC driver with class name mongodb.jdbc.MongoDriver), has anyone else come across this before and if so how was it resolved

Thanks in advance.

Hello Chris,

You need to place the MongoDB JDBC jar file under tss10.x.xtomcatcustom-ext folder (post 10.3.x version) or under tssx.x.xtomcatlib folder (before 10.3 version).

I found the following community link which can help you.
