Well, first you have to accept that the same MySQL instance (with perhaps different databases) will be hosting all your data. If that's not okay with you, then you can forget this suggestion (or, maybe it just changes the suggestion slightly because you could always have N databases and maybe 4 MySQL instances when them split across the 4... but then you'd have to figure out which connection pool to grab before getting a connection or you'd never get connected). Next, you'd have to switch to tomcat-pool because commons-dbcp (the default CP in Tomcat) does not support obtaining pooled connections with credentials. Next, you remove the database name from the JDBC URL (or maybe change it to something everyone can access, like the 'test' database or 'information_schema' depending on your version of MySQL). Then, you have your code call DataSource.getConnection(username,password) instead of calling DataSource.getConnection(). This gets you the right credentials for your target database. Finally, make sure you issue a query to set the database for the connection: 'USE databasename;' Then, you set your connection pool to have however many connections you want (100?) and every client (thread) shares those connections with every client database that runs in a particular MySQL instance. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/JC8wACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBEpgCghI3t8gpE+SBSNV/pYjyLqqwq 2hwAoIY8mYqGGG+owxzsFPQ+CFa2cVeL =Fh/Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
