Without knowing what book you refer to, and what class or interface ConnectionPoolDataSource represents, it is difficult to know for sure.
DataSource (javax.sql.DataSource) is an Interface, not a class. Objects returned from tomcat are sure to implement this interface, and are pooled behind the scene, i.e., you do not care what the implementation class is. So, I would recommend going with javax.sql.DataSource. I.e., in context.xml, you say: <Resource name="my/datasource/name" type="javax.sql.DataSource" ... </Resource> And in your code, you expect the returned object to be a javax.sql.DataSource (from the initial context, lookup, etc.) Tim -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Whisenhunt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 4:06 PM To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: tomcat + postgres I followed the howto about connection pooling at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html and I had following question: Do I use the DataSource class like in the example or the ConnectionPoolDataSource class (like it says to do in my book)? Any insights would be very appreciated. -Matt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
