Hi Dirk, Thanks for all the help! At last ... success! I have managed to get the example program working with the latest builds thanks to the fix that you provided. The following is a summary of my findings:
Using the original, older version of the Informix JDBC driver (2.11.JC2), it is necessary to use the latest builds for DBCP and pool because the driver does not support the setReadOnly() method. However, i have also downloaded the latest Informix JDBC driver (2.21.JC5) and tested it with the original DBCP 1.1 and pool 1.1. It also seemed to work fine, even though the documentation with it explicitly states that it still does not support the setReadOnly() method see http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/informix/pubs/library/220sdk/jdbc14/program.fm10.html#129139 Anyway, using the latest builds with the new driver seems to be the best option for anyone with similar problems... Thanks again for all the help Dirk, Cheers, Andrew Peirson.
