I have got five different databases i.e 5 different hosts.

I have to connect to them and retrieve data without making a performance hit.

My Code for establishing connection with single database is as follows.


Can any one help me out ???

Do the above five times, with a different variable for each connection.

You can write a generic code and pass database details (which can be stored in some property of XML file) as parameter to establish connection....

I did that 5 times and it works fine.

But i want to know if there is any other simpler way of doing it.

Now my code is as below.


How to store these details in some property of XML file and use it?

Thanks in advance

(assuming this is a stand alone application)

You could create an XML file with contents like this:


And then, in your java code, use one of the XML APIs to read the file and create a connection for each occurrence of the <connection> tag.
You can store these connections in conArray.

Do you want several connections to the same database with the same login credentials? That is what you have. Or if the literal strings you posted were just examples, then you have a fixed number of connections.

I would have changed the makeConnection() method to pass the URL, username and password strings, and had the DriverManager.getConnection() method used the passed arguments. Or I would have wrapped all of this in a Connection wrapper class. Then each connection could use a different database and different credentials.
