Configuring CouchDB connectivity in Liberty

Applications that run on Liberty can access NoSQL databases, such as CouchDB. For access to a CouchDB instance in Liberty, a preferred way is to configure a connector with the Cloudant® Java™ client. You can also configure a connector for the NoSQL database with the ektorp client library.

Stabilized feature: Use of the ektorp client library with the couchdb-1.0 feature is stabilized. This feature is stabilized because the ektorp Java driver is no longer in service. You can continue to use the ektorp client library with the couchdb-1.0 feature. However, consider using instead the cloudant-1.0 feature, which uses the Cloudant Java client, or create a CDI producer by following the technique that is described in Access any version of MongoDB with Open Liberty using CDI.
