Personally, unless you have a pressing need or requirement for the
external client to access J(2)EE resources, I would abstract the the
DataSource connection code and either use the Toolkit or talk to an accessor
on the AS/400. By the last I mean a socket program or a regular program
that uses IPC like a data queue or messaging.

By following instructions from the link above, you can go the J(2)EE
route in a "standard" way, but look at the work, set up, and deployment.
One can use a unicycle, a tank, or anything in between to get there; let
your requirements be your guide. HTH,

Subject: Accessing JDBC JNDI DatasSources outside of websphere

Hello Java400ers,

I'm writing a swing app, where I want to re-use some code from a J2EE
application. The code in question gets it's JDBC connection from a WAS
JNDI DataSource. I managed to write some code to register an
AS400DataSource with JNDI, the only piece I am missing is the
InitialContectFactory. I tried using the WAS Initial Context Factory,
but gave up after including dozens of WAS jars without getting the thing
to work.

Does anyone have a well defined recipe for setting up JDBC JNDI
DataSources in a Swing (or other non-J2EE) application? I would
appreciate any pointers you could provide.

Regards,
Brian Leathem
