David, But i want to make a business layer and call the DAO from there. I think that the links that you have sent me couple presentation layer and database tightly. I know i can use EJB for presentation layer but I dont want that as it would be overkill for the small project I am working on. I want to have a connection pool class initialized at the time the server starts and then all my DAO should get the connection from that pool. Is it possible? I am a beginner in this field and I might not understand it completely. please correct me if i am wrong. regards saurabh
