OracleConnectionPoolDataSource with a JDBC defined in Sun Java App Server?

Question

How do I use OracleConnectionPoolDataSource with a JDBC Resource defined in Sun Java System Application Server 8.2?
I created a JDBC Resource labeled "jdbc/__PetroPool" that is backed by a Connection Pool labeled "PetroPool".
Should I even be using OracleConnectionPoolDataSource or should I be using Apache Commons DBCP?
Thanks,

Answer 1

Check this documentation from MS on using the JDBC driver with DataSource
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms379052.aspx
SJS Web Server 7.0 should work with any driver that has support for javax.sql.DataSource. The great majority of drivers do.
So instead of using the driver name, use the DataSource class name:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDataSource
The properties to add should be:
user=username
password=password
servername=sql_server_hostname
portnumber=sql_server_port
databasename=databasename
In general, all the setters required to get the datasource configured can be set as properties.
