setting up Tomcat Datasource information such as the response juha supplied is correct
You always have the option of connecting straight in without looking up the DataSource parameters but you would have to supply all necessary parameters such as user,pass and driver for example if ( c_Driver == null ) LoadDriver(); try { Properties props = new Properties(); props.put( c_sUserNameKey, c_sDBUser ); props.put( c_sPasswordKey, c_sDBPassword ); return c_Driver.connect( c_sDBURL, props ); } catch ( SQLException sqlex ) { c_Category.error( "Error connecting to database", sqlex ); throw sqlex; } unless of course there is a disconnect on your definition of datasource?
