I use connection pooling with Tomcat 5.5.4. Corresponding entry in server.xml looks like this:
<Context path="/myApp" docBase="myApp" debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true"> <Resource name="jdbc/TestDB" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" maxActive="100" maxIdle="30" maxWait="10000" username="user" password="java" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/instrukcije?autoReconnect=true" /> </Context> Everything works fine, just I don't know how to specify which character set is to be used for retriving data When connecting to database from application without connection poll, character set can be specified in database url somehow like this: url = jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/instrukcije?username=user&password=java&useCharset=cp1250.... How to do the similar thing in this case? Thanks in advance. tvrdi --------------------------------- Yahoo! Shopping Find Great Deals on Gifts at Yahoo! Shopping
