Jim, Thanks for your response. I want each user to login to the database(MySQL), via a JSP. Once logged in, I want them to use their database username (specified at log in time) for communicating with the database throught their session. To put it another way, if 4 users are currently logged in (via a JSP etc.), When I query the data dictionary of the database, I want their names to come up. At any point in time, I want to be able to find out, who is logged in, this is why I do not want everyone to log in with the same username and password e.g. ola/ola-hardcoded in the Struts config's data-source.
I do not mind using any datasource so long as I can achieve my objective. Thanks.
