Our subsidiary company in Russia is using the 1C:Enterprise platform. I am working in Europe and we need the data from the 1C database for our reporting.
Currently we are using JDBC to connect our databases with Java.
Is it possible to use JDBC for the 1C database connection?
You can not directy connect to 1C app database. It is better to use OData interface to collect info, but you will need to ask subsidiary company in Russia to make OData interface public (it is quite simple, please see manual)
Alternatively, you can install your 1C:Enterprise infobase to an external RDBMS supported by 1C:Enterprise (Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, Oracle Database) and then rely upon the chosen RDBMS's JDBC driver to establish JDBC connections to your infobase.
Dear Tom, there is a link to page where you can find number of integrations methods . In addition to above recommendations you can also use COM technology if you are using windows platform.
