Hi, I'am starting with DBCP and Tomcat because of some pooling problems with Tyrex and Poolman. First of all, It seems like DBCP works very well.
Now, I've got just a little problem with getConnection method and credentials : PoolingDataSource object doesn't support getConnection(user, password) method and throw an "UnsupportedOperationException". I understand it as a pooled connections can't be shared among multiple database users. My problem is that some application still use getConnection(user, password) method even with DataSource, so using DBCP with those applications is impossible without modifing app. code. So, here is my proposal : Why not modifing getConection(user, password) in BasicDataSource so that : - if username/password are good ones, this method forward toward getConnection() - if not, this method throw a SQLExeption, saying something like "Invalid username/password" I've tried to modify source code and I ask you if it would be correct to transform getConnection(username, password) in BasicDataSource like this : ----------------------------------------------------------- public Connection getConnection(String username, String password) throws SQLException { if(username.equalsIgnoreCase(this.username) && password.equalsIgnoreCase(this.password)) { return (createDataSource().getConnection()); } else { throw new SQLException("DBCP : Invalid username/password"); } } ----------------------------------------------------------- Thanks in advance for your responses Accédez au courrier électronique de La Poste : www.laposte.net ; 3615 LAPOSTENET (0,13 €/mn) ; tél : 08 92 68 13 50 (0,34€/mn)" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
