I'm working with a really, really old DBMS, which nevertheless does have a
JDBC driver. We are able to configure a
JEE DataSource within
JBoss to talk to this database, but now we need to enable SSL across this connection. The problem is that the documentation describing how to do this are for the moldy old DriverManager.getConnection() method of getting a connection. Basically, you set up a bunch a properties, then pass them in to the method, like this:
I'm trying to figure out how to translate those instructions into configuring a datasource, but getting very little help from the DB vendor's technical support. I'm thinking that maybe I could set up my own connection pool, using the DriverManager to fill it up with connection, and then point my datasource at that connection pool. Does that sound like a reasonable approach? More crucially, is there a tutorial somewhere that might show how to pull something like that off?
