Thanks for the tip. It is actually a JSP Bean that gets the handle to the
servlet.
When you say "making a call to this servlet" do you mean calling it thru
HTTP?
I don't think that would work for me, since it returns a sql Connection....
Do you know why they deprecated it? Is there any other way to get a handle
to it?
Thanks,
