Building mysql database driven application using JSF

Question

hello
i have to build a JSF application that uses a connection with a MySql database
first the user fills in a booking form, then he clicks on the button submit to save his operation
where should i place the code to connect with the database?
i mean the following:
DataSource ds=(DataSource) new InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/DreamsBeachDB");
Connection c= ds.getConnection();
Statement st = c.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
String req="insert into  ...";
+int exec = st.executeUpdate(req);
should it be in a method of the managed bean or in a ActionListener class?
in the first case where is the controller of the MVC2 architecture?
in the second case how can i retrieve the values of the managed bean?
thank you for answering

You should use a persistence framework like Hibernate or EJB 3.
