Connecting Using a Connection Pool
Because an application uses connection pooling by referencing the JNDI name of a registered PooledConnectionDataSource object, code changes are not required for an application to use connection pooling.
The following example shows Java code that looks up and uses the JNDI-registered PooledConnectionDataSource object created in Creating the Connection Pool.
Note: This code example is drawn from an Oracle use case, but it informs the implementation of connection pooling for most Progress DataDirect drivers.

// Test program to look up and use a JNDI-registered data source.

// To run the program, specify the JNDI lookup name for the
// command-line argument, for example:

Note: To use non-pooled connections, specify the JNDI name of a registered driver DataSource object as the command-line argument when you run the preceding application. For example, the following command specifies the driver DataSource object created in Creating a Driver DataSource Object : java TestDataSourceApp jdbc/ConnectSparkyOracle
