Re: AS400 objects from a connection pool

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chris,

You can create an exit program to set this up for you. The exit to use
(wrkreginf) will vary depending on which driver you use (native or
toolbox). The initialization exit is only called when the connection is
established. We use these to set library lists based on the caller's
environment so that programmers will generally get test and users will
generally get production.

I am using an AS400ConnectionPool to manage a pool of AS400 objects in
my
WebApp.

The AS400 objects will be used to run commands and RPG programs.

To ensure the runtime environment for the RPG programs is correct I need
to
setup the library list and LDA on the AS400 connections, before handing
them
onto the App.

Currently I am doing this everytime a connection is retrieved from the
pool,
but this is an unneccessary overhead when the connection has been
recycled. 

Is there any reliable way of telling if an AS400 object retreived from
AS400ConnectionPool is "new". Is it reasonable to test
isConnected(COMMAND)?

Or should I use a ConnectionPoolEvent? And if so how - the javadocs are
very
terse.

Thanks,
Chris.
