More modern advice suggests that you don't use a Struts-provided
connection pool at all ... use the JNDI factilities provided by your
servlet container or app server. Then, you gain access to a
connection pool provided by the server, like this:
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/CustomerDB");
without having to pass any parameters around.
