>From the simplest possible perspective, one could say that the two data sources are pretty much equivalent ... they both provide you with a connection pool for sharing a small number of JDBC connections (to the same underlying database) across all the incoming requests of your application, without requiring you to allocate a request per user, even when that user does not have an active request. In terms of recommended usage, though, you are strongly encouraged *not* to use the Struts version ... use the connection pool provided by your servlet container instead. Struts 1.0 included the data source implementation because, at the time, most servlet containers had no such support. Now that they all do, the Struts data source support was deprecated in 1.1, and removed in 1.2. Craig Thank you > >
