JNDI & Others

Hi guys,

below is the msg I have searched in the archive files,
and I have similiar questions, and if anyone knows the
anwsers, could you please drop me a mail.

I use MS 2000.

Actually I am stuck here with the following msg:

set up:java.naming.factory.initial

Hi  Larry Mulcahy. are you still on this list? if yes,
could you please drop me a mail and tell me how to set
up env. so I could use jndi to get the connection.

thanks.

I have continued working on this and have learned some
things I
didn't understand when I asked this question.

I have succeeded in deploying a PostgreSQL DataSource
using the
file system service provider
(com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory,
http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/serviceproviders.html).
 I have
one small Java application that binds the DataSource
to a name,
then another application can do a lookup on that name,
do a
getConnection on the DataSource and with that access
the database.

Now, I'd like to do connection pooling.  After poring
over the
archived messages of pgsql-jdbc and looking at the
source code,
I'm having a hard time determining whether it's
possible to do
this (without using some other software like PoolMan,
Protomatter
or Tyrex).  Some of the messages in the mailing list
such as
http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=75748
suggest that the ConnectionPoolDataSource interface
ought to be
implemented, but I can't find any classes in the
"enterprise" jar
file or in the source tree that sound like this.

Is ConnectionPoolDataSource implemented?
