Re: Issue with casting JDBC Connection

The reason i am casting it because i want to use
method
conn2.getServerJobIdentifier();
which is method in AS400JDBCConnection and not
java.sql.Connection

The AS400JDBCConnectionPool.getConnection() method doesn't return an
AS400JDBCConnection necessarily ... it returns a Connection.  It could
theoretically return it's own private inner-class that implements the
Connection interface.

You could check to see if the returned connection is an instance of
AS400JDBCConnection and upcast it to get the information you are looking
for.
