You could also try
if (connection instanceof OracleConnection) {...
This should work to determine if you have a connection which supports Oracle
extensions, which is what you are testing for.

NP. A word of caution... If you are using a container datasource, most of
them wrap the underlying jdbc connections in their own connection
implementations.
Just an FYI, as the driver name may not come out like you expect...

Subject: determining the database driver in actions
hi,
is there a way to find out the database driver that is being used in my
struts action classes?
the reason for wanting to be able to do this is that i would like to
structure my class so that, depending upon the driver being used (or
alternatively, type of DataSource) i could either write a Blob to the
database (Oracle) or a BinaryStream (SQLServer or MySQL).
is it possible to find out the DataSource's property's?
cheers
claire
