This is how I go about it as well. I have a datasource set up in my container. I access that datasource using jndi, and do no do that in my Actions. This topic cycles through here every now and again.

I use pine, and there is a Windows version for that (http://www.washington.edu/pine/). I use FreeBSD, so I can only attest that the Unix version does threading and filtering just fine.
