Hi: This question may have been asked before but I couldn't find any reference to it in the mail archive.
I have classes currently which are managing their own connections to an Oracle database. I would like to have these classes instead use the DB Connection Pool. The codebase consists of a webapp deployed in tomcat and several java programs which run in the background (all of which use our "custom" implementation of a connection pool). I have already configured Tomcat to use the connection pool through modifying the server.xml but am at a loss as to how I configure the connection pool from my standalone apps. I read a lot about how the Context can be initialized from property files and once this is done I can probably figure out how to get my DataSource. Can anybody help me with tips, pointers or even better an example of how this configuration is done? Thanks, Philip.
