23. Accessing JDBC databases using Data Source in standard portlets
In this chapter, we introduce the process of gaining access to back-end JDBC databases using a Data Source for the database connection. The sample scenario is implemented using the JSR 168 portlet specification for classes and JSPs. A simple portlet project is included to show how portlets access relational databases using the JDBC interface.
