Yeah, the approach used by the samples is designed so they are easier to run on any app server. Sounds like you know the right practice, but for others who might be reading this for production use, I recommend using a data source using a connection pool which requires app server specific configuration. That also keeps the connection info out of your code.

I think I will write my own product screen from scratch to see how it all works. My initial idea was to gradually modify the sample to get it working with Oracle, and make other changes. Seems like these samples are not a good 'standard practice' Thanks Andrew --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Jeff Vroom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Some of the samples hardcode the database connection info in a class > called ConnectionHelper.java.
