Hi, A Question about JNDI, to use it i have to configure it in server.xml file, suppose if i have to change my app server , say to JRun, or Weblogic or websphere...how will it affect me,i think since all these are J2EE compliant servers, they must have some place for defining it, also what if i keep a xml file, with all the parameters for database connection in it, and keep it in web-inf of the application, and load it while starting the application from a startup servlet. so if i change the app server, i dont have to worry about setting JNDI in that app server, Ashish --- Glenn Nielsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The advantage of letting the container (Tomcat) > setup a JNDI DataSource > is abstraction.
