Since the application connects to its datasources using the DriverManager class, I cannot use connection pooling. That's one of the reasons I tried using JNDI for such a long time :-( > Restarting the tomcat after modifying datasource may be a > better and simpler option. I have to restart (at least) the application anyway, because I open database connections in the init() of my servlet. Restarting Tomcat should not be necessary when using the DriverManager approach because Tomcat is not involved in the database connections. Using the JNDI approach, restarting Tomcat does not apply any changes made to the datasources (see my previous mails).
