In the case of WebLogic and your production environment, definitely. SimpleDataSource is great for development and production environments using simpler app servers like Tomcat and Jetty. However, WebLogic and other major app servers will do a better job of managing resources (especially across multiple applications) if you let it manage the datasources.

We currently develop on Tomcat and deploy to WebSphere and use the Simple datasource. Would it be beneficial to use the JNDI to optimize the datasource? <transactionManager type="JDBC"> <dataSource type="SIMPLE"> Thanks, Tom Henricksen Consultant Advanced Technologies Group, Inc.
