Thanks to all of you who responded to my question.
I am not sure whether you are aware of ORACLE's JDEVELPER2.0. Anyway, I will
come to the point. The JDEVELOPER2.0 comes with JDK1.1.7, JSDK2.0. I don't
which release of JSDK2.0 that comes with.
As many of you suggested me to use the following method.
getServletContext().setAttribute("connection_pool", pool).
I am getting a COMPILATION ERROR: "method setAttribute not found in
interface javax.servlet.ServletContext".
Will you please tell me WHICH RELEASE of JSDK2.0 I can download?
Thanks in advance.
Louis
