Hi,

I have a question regarding MDBs accessing a datasource. Since application 
servers create a pool of MDBs that will consume messages, how should the 
datasource be retrieved efficiently?


  | public class MDB implements MessageDrivenBean, MessageListener
  | {
  |     private MessageDrivenContext   context = null;
  |           private DataSource dataSource = null;
  | 
  |     public void ejbCreate()
  |     {
  |                     InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
  |             dataSource = (DataSource) initialContext.
  |                                                   lookup(lookupstring);
  |     }
  | 
  |     public void setMessageDrivenContext(MessageDrivenContext context)
  |     {
  |           context = context;
  |     }
  | 
  |     public void onMessage(Message msg)
  |     {
  |                 Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();
  |                 ...
  |     }
  | 
  |     public void ejbRemove()
  |     {
  |     }
  | }
  | 

Since the application server will instantiate a pool of MDBs, the ejbCreate 
method will be called n times depending on the size of the MDB pool. Each 
instance of the  MDB will have their own instance of the datasource. I want my 
MDBs to share a single instance of the datasource. How can I do this? 

For example, fo servlets, you have an init method which is only called once by 
the servlet container where you can instantiate a datasource. Subsequent 
requests to the servlet will create 1 thread for each request. But each thread 
will only access a single instance of the datasource.

How can i do this with MDBs? Is my code correct or is there a better way? Or is 
it even a non-issue for application servers.

Can anyone point to any reading about this or can clarify this?

Thanks in advance :)
