So, I can't cast the connection Tomcat returns as a DelegatingConnection. DelegatingConnection is from Commons DBCP and this connection is org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.PoolableConnection. I do not want to reference any Tomcat libraries directly because our product is container agnostic. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If you are using the standard pool (which uses DBCP under the hood), I think you get use getInnermostDelegate after casting to DelegatingConnection. That thing that gets returned should be an OracleConnection. You also might need to set accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed on the DataSource in order to actually call getInnermostDelegate. See the DBCP configuration page and look for that setting for more info. As always, remember to close the connection you got from the DataSource, not the inner delegate, or you will be toast. > In Tomcat 6 the connection was returned as T4CConnection and had no > problem being cast as an OracleConnection.

What is the runtime type of the Connection object returned from DataSource.getConnection? For me, it's BasicDataSource. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk7VV8wACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDTOgCgqC3q35DFDoGaCGsdWwnRfN48 k5gAn3J+wzFTrzN3kmrsLWDAnLxHNxBo =ro6R -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
