This would have been a little more informative had you not
assumed a newbie would know what a JDBC type was, much less their
categories. The very nature of his question is evidence to his
ignorance of the subject.
Type 1 - JDBC-ODBC bridge
All Java = false
Network Connection = direct
Type 2 - Native API
All Java = false
Net Con = direct
Type 3 - JDBC - Net
All Java (client) = true
All Java (server) = maybe
Net Con = indirect
Type 4 - Native protocol
All Java = true
Net Con = direct
For a simple way of getting database data into a servlet, see
Jason Hunter's "Java Servlet Programming," pp. 250-251.
