Merry Christmas, Wow, I finally connected to my data source! Now, I want to put the code somewhere it will be executed only once, and save the DataSource object where Actions, beans, etc. can get at it. That way, I don't have to perform the lookup all the time.
Any suggestions on where to put the one time setup code, and where to save the DataSource object reference (in the application?).
