Hi Craig, I'm very glad to recieve an e-mail from you. I keep following your interviews in www.theserverside.com . Well I didn't know that Struts DataSource concept has been deprecated. I've been using Weblogic from so many years and it's very easy to configure datasources and connection pools in Weblogic.
Thanks, Tarun.
