I know conn.close() returns the Connection to the pool, but does ds.getConnection() get a new Connection or simply get one from the pool. If so, at what point is a new Connection made?

The pool decides whether to reuse an existing connection or create a new one. It does so based on the way the pooling code was written, and the way you configure it.

Thanks stu..

the code above doesn't seem to be working for me though!



initCtx cannot be resolved

I'm using the code below in Tomcat 5.5






I tried placing <Context> in /META-INF/context.xml, then i tried placing it CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml and niether is working??

My web.xml has this (I'm using Servlet 2.4/ J2SE 1.5)

Should not your resource ref be jdbc/EmployeeDB and not jdbc/DB ?
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
