JCO connection without the use of HCM util.?

Question

Hi Guru's!
I have developed a dynpage application where i call a function module inside sap, using the Sap Enterprise Connector.
I use this code to get the JCO connection, where "SystemIdentifier" is the System Alias parameter maintained in the portalapp.xml file eg. "SAP_R3_HumanResources"
the code looks like this:
public SapConnection(Object originator, IPortalComponentRequest request, String systemIdentifier) {
          try {
               IJCOClientPoolEntry poolEntry = Util.getJCoPoolEntry(originator, request, systemIdentifier);
               client = poolEntry.getJCOClient();
          } catch (BaseException e) {
               System.out.println("Fejl BaseException: " + e.getMessage());
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Fejl Exception: " + e.getMessage());
Normally this code works well, but today we where trying to use the iView in a portal which doesnt have ESS or MSS installed.
And therefore the HCM_util.jar is not deployed on the server.
So my question is: Is it possible to connect to the sap system using a System Alias, but wihtout the HCM_Util.jar ?
Help is very much apreciated!

Hi again.
Seems that i found another way to do this:
IJCOClientService clientService = (IJCOClientService)request.getService(IJCOClientService.KEY);
            IJCOClientPoolEntry poolEntry;
            try
                 poolEntry = clientService.getJCOClientPoolEntry(systemIdentifier, request);
Sorry for the commotion
