ditto.
I am always reading that the Connection reference should be passed into the
method. After writing a few DAOs in this manner, I found the exception
handling too tedious - I was checking for closed connections both within the
DAO method and also in the calling method. So I usually pass in a DataSource
and ensure that my DAO method obtains and closes the connection. Shoot me
down if you like.

Iam using the DAO(Data Access Object) design pattern for such Data access
situations. DAO is a layer of abstraction that works in conjunction with the
Business Object which is nothing but a container for business data. the
Business Object calls the DAO's business methods. The DAO's Business methods
wrap the JDBC Code for data base interaction. Its been explained clearly on
the J2EE blueprints section.Once you are done writing your DAO's, extend the
DAO into a session bean or use it seperately.

I'm wondering what people are considering best practices for JDBC calls?
 
I have been writing beans that wrap a database table, and include functions
"select", "insert", "delete". These functions either load the bean, insert
the bean values in the database, or delete the record from the database. In
all of these functions, I pass in a database connection from the action. (Or
whatever else is calling the bean.)
 
ie- public boolean select(Connection cn1, String primaryKey)
 
How are others doing it? I think this is a good approach, but want to see if
someone has come up with something better.
 
Thanks,
Ryan
