Own connection handling class

Question

hi all,
In the jdbcpds.conf file, it is mentioned that we can write our own connection handling class which extends the provided JDBCConnectionHandling class
What i tried after looking at the methods of connection handler is something like this
class myJDBCConnectionHandling extends JDBCConnectionHandling
protected void parseConnectInfo(String s, JDBCConnectDialog jdbcconnectdialog, Plugin plugin)
throws Exception
String dbUrl = null;
dbUrl = "<user>/<pwd>@<remotedatabase>";
super.parseConnectInfo(dbUrl, jdbcconnectdialog, plugin);
Is there anything else that needs to be done
because this is throwing an error
JDBCPDS-62008 : Failed to connect to the datasource null
Invalid arguments in the call
Can anybody correct me
Of course my main purpose of trying this is to have something like a logical name given to the P_JDBCPDS parameter which can be mapped to the actual database url using JNDI lookup.
what i was expecting was, the string when passed to the connection handler, i can add the code to lookup the name in my own connection handler and leave the rest to the provided JDBCConnectionHandling class
Am i going in right direction or not
Or if anybody has any other solution you are welcome to suggest
Any sort of help is greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

One more thing i forgot to mention was that i am not too concerned about this lookup in reports builder
I need when this is running on the server
thanks & regards
