To define the JDBC connection pool

Before running the sample application, you need to define a suitable JDBC connection pool that maps to the PointBase database server. You also need a JDBC resource that associates the JDBC references made in the sample application to the JDBC connection pool definition.

1. Through a web browser, access the administration server interface.

   Note –

   You might have to start the administration server if it is not running.

2. Select the Java tab in the server instance and click on JDBC Connection Pools

   • jdbc-simple-pool as the name of the new connection pool.

     • jdbc:pointbase:server://localhost/sample as database name

     • PBPUBLIC as the user name

     • PBPUBLIC as the password

     • Transaction Isolation set to read-committed
