Subject: Handling Database Connections

Hello All,
I thought I would see if anybody has an opinions/suggestions.

I have a connection bean that uses JDBC to connect to a database. No
problems with that at all, but I'm wondering what the best way to share this
connection would be.

I know there are connection pools, but I didn't really seem to find any good
documentation, or I'm missing something.

So basically here is what I am after. Say I have a few classes that I want
to run SQL statements from. I would rather not open a connection each time
that class is called.

Let me know if the JDBC code would help at all.

Thanks in advance,
James R. Perkins
