Hey all,

This forum is great! Lots of killer info. Thanks to all the gurus... I have aquick question regaurding the connection pooling in version 3.0.4...
I have created a DB connection to MSSQL server 2k and I set the connection pool parameters in the service.xml as needed. My question is do I need to do anything special to use the pool? I am doing a JNDI look up on the DS. Can I assume that it is pooling....

Here is my code....

DataSource ds =
(DataSource) new InitialContext().lookup("java:/MSSQLDS");
Connection con = ds.getConnection();
try {
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from TEST");
while (rs.next()) {
returnVal = (rs.getString("NAMe"));

}
} catch (Exception cnfe) {
System.err.println("Unable to load MSSQL database driver!");
System.err.println("ClassNotFoundException: " + cnfe.getMessage());
} finally {
con.close();
}
