DbConn.getJNDIConnection()
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi Experts,
I am stuck with a little silly problem. I have a class for getting connection to
the database(Code attached)
now when I am trying to invoke the getConnection of this class on an instance in another
class where I need the DB connection, its not working.
what am I doing wrong?
package com.si.admin;
import java.sql.*;
import com.si.admin.*;
import com.si.dao.DbConn;
public class TrackingTable
{
Connection conn= null;
DbConn db = new DbConn();
conn = db.getJNDIConnection();
}

You'll need to make your methods public because the DbConn class resides in a different package then the TrackingTable class.
Also, because the methods are static, you don't need an instance of DbConn. Simply:
Connection conn = DbConn.getJNDIConnection()
shoud do the trick.
Or if you want it to be an instance method, drop the "static"
You need to use it inside a method - only ctors can be called outside a method.
>>Also declaring the getConnection method Static would cause any trouble?
Yes it could, depending on your application. It makes it that more likely that another thread could try to use the connection - you certainly don't want that

static method you can call directly. No need of instance.
