I've used JDNI to deal with configuring JDBC connections in app servers. It seems to work. I've not had the same painful experience as you've had. Granted, a JDBC DataSource object is not as fancy as our configuration. The big advantage JDBC has WRT configuration is that you usually can configure everything with key/value pairs. At least the driver I co-wrote works that way.
I would be nice to have a doc area where we write this kind of stuff down. Gary On Tue, Jul 26, 2016 at 10:33 AM, Ralph Goers <ralph.go...@dslextreme.com> wrote: > Has anybody asked for that?
