I am not even sure if I am referring to the correct terms, but having managed to successfully connect to data by passing the id and password for the database via code, I am now trying to set up this information in the JBoss environment so that I can use connection pooling, and not have the password for the database in my code?
I have some sample code below, my question is what do I have to do to be able to use the 'MyDS' datasource??
// Step 1. Look up the DataSource
InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ic.lookup("jdbc/MyDS");
// Step 2. Get a connection from the pool
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
// Step 3. Execute query
Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
stmt.execute("SELECT * FROM USERID.EMPLOYEE");
// Step 4. Get the results
ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
while (rs.next()) {
String firstCol = rs.getString(1);
int secondCol = rs.getInt(2);
...
}
// Step 5. Return connection to the pool
conn.close();
I think this means adding something to the 'standardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml' file? I cannot find a _simple_ example I can look at to get me started, any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
