Re: dataSource.getConnection jt400

   You need something to manage the pooled connections.  That's what
AS400JDBCConnectionPool does.  My suggestion, and I realize it seems
somewhat circular, but that's the way they set it up, is to create a
DataSource wrapper around the AS400JDBCConnectionPool.  So your
app code would get your DataSource and still just call

Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();

   So there's another layer.  In *your* DataSource, you would implement
getConnection() something like this ( with better recovery ):

public java.sql.Connection getConnection()
{
  try
  {
     return myAS400JDBCConnectionPool.getConnection();
  }
  catch( ConnectionPoolException cpe )
  { // do something  }
}  // end getConnection

   The circularity is that AS400JDBCConnectionPool wants a
ConnectionPoolDataSource, which gets PooledConnections, which the pool
manager manages.  Hip bone connected to the thigh bone.

Hey Joe Sam

There lies the problem. I don't want to get the connection from an
AS400JDBCConnectionPool. I want to get the connection from the
DataSource so I can use the dataSource.getConnection() method in all of
my beans  whether it is on the 400 or the PC.  From what it looks like I
can't do it.  At least not with a pooled connection on the PC side.  Do
you concur?

Thanx again, PLA

  Correct.  I probably wasn't very clear.  Use getConnection() from
*AS400JDBCConnectionPool*.  So, you need to implement a DataSource
that creates an AS400JDBCConnectionPool and gets everything from it.
Take a look at the documentation for AS400JDBCConnectionPool.  Hope that
clears things up somewhat.

Hey Joe Sam

I downloaded jtopen.jar 4.0.  The getConnection() method on the
AS400JDBCConnectionPoolDataSource still does not return a pooled
connection.

I wonder if I could extend AS400JDBCConnectionPoolDataSource and get it
to work?

Thanx, PLA

 Take a look at AS400JDBCConnectionPool in JTOpen 4.x and try
using that.  Your getConnection() problem stems from the fact that
AS400JDBCConnectionPoolDataSource descends from
AS400JDBCDataSource and does not override the getConnection()
methods there.

The source has been changed considerably in
AS400JDBCConnectionPoolDataSource and
AS400JDBCPooledConnection. You probably have an earlier version
on the AS/400; That's the only reason I can think of why it worked

there.

Let us know how it goes.

Subject: Re: dataSource.getConnection jt400

Hey Joe Sam

You're right on target. I have a class I call ObjectServer that looks

up

the OS on creation, creates the DataSource accordingly and returns it
via ObjectServer.getDataSource(). The only problem I'm having is the
the AS400JDBCConnectionPoolDataSource.getConnection() doesn't appear

to

return a pooled connnection. I have to do the following to get a

pooled

connection from the AS400JDBCConnectionPoolDataSource.

AS400JDBCConnectionPoolDataSource dataSource = new
AS400JDBCConnectionPoolDataSource("myserver.com");
dataSource.setUser("myUser");
dataSource.setPassword("myPassword");
AS400JDBCPooledConnection pooledConnection =

(AS400JDBCPooledConnection)

dataSource.getPooledConnection();
Connection connection = pooledConnection.getConnection();

Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help!
