Hello again. Ive managed to get this working, which took a bit of time, but im a little confused on how to do it more efficently. I currenty access my mysql db through a servlet with the follwing code
InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); DataSource ds = (DataSource)envCtx.lookup("jdbc/mainDB"); con = ds.getConnection(); ive seen bits of code of the web which use factorys and /or singleton classes for this. Im sure 3 or 4 lines can be cut out of the code that should be called everytime the servlet is called. Any advice would be helpful! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Using-DBCP-DataSource-w--Tomcat-6-tp24536575p24536575.html Sent from the Tomcat - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
