You can use this little snippet to get a connection: public Connection getConnection(String url, String driverClassName, String username, String password) throws SQLException { try { Class.forName(driverClassName); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { throw new SQLException(e.getMessage()); } if (username == null) { return DriverManager.getConnection(url); } return DriverManager.getConnection(url, username, password); }
Personally I use hibernate with spring or guice to deal with all that connection junk these days. gbattine wrote: > > Hello guys, > I'm newbie about Struts and I'm trying to understand a complex task (for > me), that is obtaining a connection from connection pool (I use dbcp for > this) and a datasource (that one of tomcat) and use this connection in dao > layer. > I'm trying to get this working, but it seems very difficult to me. > Could you help me? > I show what I did: > -I added context in server.xml of tomcat > -I added declaration into web.xml of application, like this: > <resource-ref> > <description>DB Connection</description> > <res-ref-name>jdbc/TestDB</res-ref-name> > <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type> > <res-auth>Container</res-auth> > </resource-ref> > > Now my first question. > What's next step?
