http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=25827 how to access data source when managing DB in a servlet? Summary: how to access data source when managing DB in a servlet? Product: Struts Version: 1.1 Final Platform: Other URL: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/faqs/database.html#mult i_dsrc OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Documentation AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is a documentation RFE. Right now, the documentation describes how the datasources configured in struts-config.xml can be accesses within each Action's execute method. An alternative pattern is to handle all db-related matters in an own public class Database extends ActionServlet { ... In the Actions, I then obtain that db servlet object from the application scope where I put it during init() with "servlet.getServletContext().getAttribute( Constants.DATABASE_KEY);" What I would like to have documented is how to access the datasource (that is not defined in server.xml as <Resource ... type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> but only int the struts-config) during this init() where there is neither an Action Object nor a "request" parameter yet. As long as I have just one of them, I can "cheat" with BasicDataSource dataSource = (org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource) getServletContext().getAttribute(org.apache.struts.Globals.DATA_SOURCE_KEY); But how would I do that if I have multiple datasources defined as per the above URL? This will become especially important if one wants to use a read-write cluster as per Bug 25511 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
