go to
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html
and follow the instructions... You will have to edit the server.xml and web.xml file of your app. Once you get the ds configured it's simply a matter of doing a jndi lookup for the ds.
I apologize that I couldn't post my server.xml file. It's on my mac at home...
good luck!

hello, I'm trying to deploy to weblogic 8.2 using ant. Any ideas as to a ant task similar to tomcat's api?
I tried doing the <java> ant task to no avail - what's more it says that it's deprecated as of wl 7...
?

I use dbcp for connection pooling on tomcat and it works great. It is out of the box on tomcat 4 and 5 and is fairly easy to configure. Let me know if you would like me to post the config...

I have used JBoss before for an EJB container. As far as a J2EE sdk, the standard OSX install should have it included. You probably could update to java 1.4.1 as well using software update. Just a heads up, though - swing apps do NOT work under osx java 1.4.1
You will have to upgrade to panther(10.3) to get java 1.4.2 to get swing apps to work(Or you can use the java 1.3.1 jdk on the os if that meets your needs)
good luck!

I don't know... It comes "free" with the database in most cases - I guess you get what you pay for...
"witty saying"

Careful with the <jsp:useBean session=true> tag. If the bean doesn't exist in the session(if you removed it), it will create a new one when the page with the <jsp:useBean session=true> tag in it is served up.

I would like to give a success story about how volunteering works for getting your foot in the door of this cut-throat java market
I graduated with an electrical engineering degree and worked at IBM as such for several years until the bottom dropped out of the market.
There were absolutely no jobs for EE in my location, so I went on monster and looked for the jobs that were there. JAVA,JAVA,JAVA,etc...
Needless to say, I started studing JAVA and got my SCJP certification. I then volunteered for a nonprofit working with ORACLE and JAVA. From there I fanagled my way into a paid position and have doubled what I was making at IBM and have a better skillset.
Point being - don't allow yourself to be paralyzed by the lack of experience. Do what you can and put your best foot forward in your interviews.
God bless,

Sanjay,
I have been using a CachedResultSet to handle my paging needs. I don't use it as a "paging" scroll, but instead as 25 records at a time. Here's a code sample:
<jsp:useBean id="crs"
class="sun.jdbc.rowset.CachedRowSet" scope="session">
for(int j=0; (j<25) && crs.next(); j++) {
crs.getString("myColumn");
}

You will find quite a bit of useful methods in the CachedResultSet for your particular implementation.

Hello Guys,
I just got turned down for a JAVA Developer job because I didn't have Fixed Income Analysis experience. I did some searching on the web and couldn't find anything to my satisfaction. What is it and why is it important?!

Does anyone know how to customize the ui in i-Portal navigator? Basically, I need to hide some sensitive tables in my i-portal navigation bar. I guess that you can use the IFS API's, does any brilliant Oracle guru know how to do this?
