DataSource
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the java class. For data source names (DSNs), see Database Source Name.
DataSource
This is an interface in the java language- javax.sql.DataSource-
An object implementing DataSource provides the means by which connection pooling may be neatly hidden and performed.
A DataSource object is a factory for Connection objects. An object that implements the DataSource interface will typically be registered with a JNDI service provider. A JDBC driver that is accessed via the DataSource API does not automatically register itself with the DriverManager.
This is the preferred way of communicating with a data source (for example, a database) and provides a good alternative to using a DriverManager.
