Re: Access to the underlying connection

[Richard Osbaldeston]

Can anybody explain unwrapConnection in SimpleDataSource for me? The 
code reads:

 public static Connection unwrapConnection(Connection conn) {
   if (conn instanceof SimplePooledConnection) {
     return ((SimplePooledConnection) conn).getRealConnection();
   }
   ...
But the private (argh!) SimplePooledConnection isnt a connection object? 
it extends Object and implements InvokationHandler.. Im guessing this 
hasn't ever worked.
