The java.sql.Connection interface does not extend the java.io.Serializable interface, so you'll never be able to use JBoss for its connection pooling *only* from a separate JVM. You can put some entity ejb's on top of your data, or have some other remote data access layer as a go between, but you'll never be able to serialize a JDBC Connection over the wire.
If all you're interested in is connection pools, then I think Tomcat 4 itself now supports DataSources (I may be wrong - you'll have to check me on this - let us know how it goes). Look at the "JDBC Data Sources" section at this url: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html David -- menonv wrote: > What if I have an application that uses JBoss for its Connection Pool > *only*? > > >>-----Original Message---->>From: Scott M Stark [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >>Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 10:16 PM >>To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Subject: Re: [JBoss-user] JBoss-Catalina 2.4.3 - server.xml file >> >>There will not be support for server.xml/webapps from me for the >>forseeable >>future as it does not allow for a true integration: >> >>1.
