<!-- Spring provides several options for making a DataSource available to your application.
 (1) Getting a DataSource from JNDI -->

<bean id=”dataSource”
class=”org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean“>
<property name=”jndiName”>
<value>java:comp/env/jdbc/myDatasource</value>
</property>
</bean>

<!-- OR -->

<jee:jndi-lookup id=”dataSource” jndi-name=”/jdbc/RantzDatasource” resource-ref=”true” />


<!-- We have now wired in our server’s DataSource and its connection pooling facility

(2) Creating a DataSource connection pool -->

<bean id=“myDataSource” class=“com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource” destroy-method=“close”>
<property name=“driverClass” value=“net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver” />
<property name=“jdbcUrl” value=“jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://R2DDEV2:1433/sampleDB” />
<property name=“user” value=“sa” />
<property name=“password” value=“dev123″ />
</bean>

<!-- We now have a DataSource with connection pooling independent of an application server.

 (3) Using a DataSource while testing
DriverManagerDataSource. This class can easily be configured and used with a unit test or suite of unit tests.-->

DriverManagerDataSource dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource();

dataSource.setDriverClassName(driver);

dataSource.setUrl(url);

dataSource.setUsername(username);

dataSource.setPassword(password);


<!-- OR -->

<bean id=”dataSource” class=”org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource“>
<property name=”driverClassName” value=” net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver” />
<property name=”url” value=” jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://R2DDEV2:1433/sampleDB” />
<property name=”username” value=”sa” />
<property name=”password” value=”" />
</bean>

<!-- You now have a DataSource to use when testing your data access code.
Using JdbcTemplate

JdbcTemplate template = new JdbcTemplate(myDataSource);

All of Spring’s DAO template classes are thread-safe, we only need one JdbcTemplate instance for each DataSource in our application -->

<bean id=”jdbcTemplate” class=”org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate”>
<property name=”dataSource“><ref bean=”dataSource”/></property>
</bean>
<bean id=”studentDao” class=”StudentDaoJdbc”>
<property name=”jdbcTemplate“><ref bean=”jdbcTemplate“/></property>
</bean>
<bean id=”courseDao” class=”CourseDaoJdbc”>

<property name=”jdbcTemplate“><ref bean=”jdbcTemplate“/></property>
