Name

Data Source

Synopsis

The data-source configuration setting can be set as a String in this format, in which optional parts are embedded in brackets: 

url [, [driver] [, [user] [, [password]]]

This type of value creates a simple DataSource without any pooling capabilities and is intended only for prototype and low-end applications, as described in Chapter 11. It can also be set to a JNDI path for a DataSource made available by the container, or to a DataSource created by custom code, such as a servlet or listener. These options are described in detail in Chapter 23.
