The Tomcat's (4.1.x) data source can be accessed by an exter

[nimrod]

Hi,

I have a question:

The Tomcat's (4.1.x) data source can be accessed by an external java class? ( This class does not reside in the Tomcat container).

My meaning is, could I use the Properties to initial the context like this?

Properties env = new Properties();
env.put("java.naming.factory.initial","xxxxxxx");
env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "yyyyyyy");
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(Properties env );
DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx .lookup(DSName);

If the external java class can access the data source in Tomcat, how to do it?

Thanks.
