I am at a crossroads of information today, and could use some advice. Prior to using the Struts framework, I had a roll-your-own database pooling solution that of course required threads and Vectors of connections, etc. Upon the start of another new project, I found myself Friday trying to figure out how to use the DBCP classes inside my Tomcat server. As I do not understand the JNDI, etc. I had some trouble Friday and over the weekend, getting all configured. And when I did get it work work by their simple example, I ended up connecting in a JSP page, and that is not what I want.
So reflecting to my book OReilly/Struts, I noticed that they use a database persistance product. Something called ObjectRelationalBridge, and use it with some design patterns that I am having trouble following. I would like to possbily go this route, but I am confused at the Factory references, etc. I don't know why I am having trouble understanding this, but I am. I had the weekend to try and get my bearings on how to start this new web-app, and build it so I can war up and host at an ISP. I figured each user on this list probably already connects, and has some great ideas to throw my way. I could really use some advice, on selecting the correct, both easy to use, and reusable in the future solution for my connectivity dilemma. The reason I found DBCP confusing, is that the directions for the Tomcat 5.5 show a JSP page, using JSTL commands, and I really do not want to connect in JSP pages. I would really appreciate any input, advice, links, how to advice, etc. Sincerely Scott K Purcell --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
