Configuring a database instance on IBM Cloudant

You can configure a IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation container to use a database instance on Cloudant®.com.

1. Using the example code snippet, create an XML configuration file for the MobileFirst Server administration database and place it in the mfpf-server/usr/config folder. Make sure to customize the example code with your Cloudant.com account information and URL.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><server description="new server">
   <jndiEntry jndiName="${env.MFPF_ADMIN_ROOT}/mfp.db.cloudant.username" value="cloudant_username"/>
   <jndiEntry jndiName="${env.MFPF_ADMIN_ROOT}/mfp.db.cloudant.password" value="cloudant_password"/>
   <jndiEntry jndiName="${env.MFPF_ADMIN_ROOT}/mfp.db.cloudant.url" value="cloudant_db_url"/>
   </server>

2. Using the example code snippet, create an XML runtime database configuration file for each runtime project to be deployed using MobileFirst Server and place the files in the mfpf-server/usr/config folder. Make sure to customize the example code with your project name and your Cloudant.com account information and URL.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><server description="new server">
   <jndiEntry jndiName="<project_name/mfp.db.cloudant.username" value="<cloudant_username"/>
   <jndiEntry jndiName="project_name/mfp.db.cloudant.password" value="cloudant_password"/>
   <jndiEntry jndiName="project_name/mfp.db.cloudant.url" value="<cloudant_db_url"/>
   <application id="project_name" location="project_name.war" name="project_name" type="war">
   <classloader delegation="parentLast">
   <privateLibrary id="worklightlib_project_name">
   <fileset dir="${shared.resource.dir}/lib" includes="worklight-jee-library.jar"/>
   <fileset dir="${wlp.install.dir}/lib" includes="com.ibm.ws.crypto.passwordutil*.jar"/>
   </privateLibrary>
   </classloader>
   </application>
   </server>
