Using the JRun datasource created in the JMC allows you to use the datasource using JNDI. You then gain access to JRun's connection pooling as long as you enable pooling in the datasource.
The following is from page 34 of JRun 3.1 "Developing Applications with JRun:" Using the JRun data source service The JRun data source service lets you define JDBC data sources in JRun. Your code then references the database using the data source name instead of hard-coding the JDBC driver information. Using this approach, you can change data source information in JRun without recompiling your servlets. A JRun data source provides enhanced servlet portability in addition to optional connection pooling. It is the recommended method of database access in JRun. There is also a code example on this page. HTH.

I am using two ways to access the dabase in my apps. for the JSP, I'm using the Jrun Data source, and using Jrun tags. for my java classes, I have one DbAccess() that connects to the db, runs a query and returns a resultset or status (for updates). Is it possible to use the DataSource created through the Jrun console instead of writing my own connection routine? I found some documentation on using javax.sql.DataSource and javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource but don't understand why I would need to use JNDI. (and how). Would appreciate to get any kind of clarification or help in this matter. Thanks, Zeina ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
