Automatic Creation of ODBC Data Source From Within Java App

Question

Good Day Good People :)
I was wondering if it were possible for a java application to automatically set up an ODBC data source for a JDBC connection in a windows environment.
This is the method I call to initialise a connection to my database:
public void initialiseLocalConnection ()
url = "jdbc:odbc:ICUDB";
try
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
icuCon = DriverManager.getConnection (url);
catch (Exception e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "Error Creating Connection to ICU Database!\n" +
"Please set up an ODBC data source pointing\n" +
"to the icudb.mdb file located in the data\n" +
"folder of the ICU directory and call the\n" +
"connection 'ICUDB'.", "Database Connection Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
Is it possible to create the ODBC data source ICUDB if it does not exist from within my application.
All information regarding the possibilty and the application of doing this would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Matt

Thank you.
During my search I for dsn-less connections I found the soloution:
url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" +
System.getProperty ("user.dir") + System.getProperty ("file.separator") +
"data" + System.getProperty ("file.separator") + "icudb.mdb";
try
Class.forName ("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
icuCon = DriverManager.getConnection (url);
This works.
Thanks for the replies.
