Connecting to MS SQL 2005 via JDBC Driver

Question

I have an application in which I use Java to abstract
database elements as objects and handle most of the server-side
processing. This is done by creating a Java object via
CreateObject(). The Java then connects to a MS SQL 2005 database
using the JDBC 1.1 Driver.
The following tutorial explains how to set this up:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=ded4216b.
It instructs you to create a Data Source, much like how you
typically would in "regular" ColdFusion applications. Then, using
some simple Java, I am successfully able to connect to the
database, query it, and get results. The connection code is
attached.
As you can see, I am still passing all the connection
parameters to the Database class constructor. My question is: how
would I go about connecting to the database by simply using the
Data Source Name, as you would, again, in "regular" ColdFusion
applications. Is this possible at all?
Thanks!

Thanks for the input guys.
Perhaps I did not explain my intent very clearly. What I am
trying to accomplish is have a vast majority of the server-side
code done in Java. With that, I would be able to do things like:
<cfset myUser = CreateObject("java", "User").init(5)>
<cfoutput>#myUser.getFirstName()#</cfoutput>
However, unless I am able to connect to the database in Java
(which I currently AM able to do, but just not quite the way I want
to), I would have to run all the queries in CF and then pass them
to the different objects so that they can then process the query
results. This isn't a very smart thing to do, seeing that it binds
me to a lot of CF while I am trying use it as little as possible
(session management and user interface "tier" only).
So no, I am not going all out with Java just to avoid passing
username/password, but instead to use true OOP instead of CF
Components. I realize ColdFusion too passes this info, but it does
not show up in the source code, which is precisely what I need to
do, but with Java.
Basically, I have everything working the way I need now,
except I need to be able to connect using a data source name rather
than passing the parameters, if at all possible.
