Can i pass Datasource to JasperRunManager?

I am new to Java so i might be asking this incorrectly. currently my JasperRunManager call looks like:

JasperRunManager.runReportToPdfFile( reportFile.getPath(), filePath + destfilename, parameters, getConnection()
);

I am using Wepshare 4.0 (soon 5.0), i want connection pool and am thinking if i can pass JNDI datasource instead of getConnection. I saw something like JRDatasource, is that same thing?

any sample will be very helpfull!!

Also, nice job on the tool and quick response to our questions!!

Good job.

I think yes. See a example on /demo/samples directory of the project source tree available for download. There are lots of examples exmplaining almost everything. Reading the documentation from the /docs directory would also help.

I hope help you.
An embrace, Carlos

Hi,

JRDataSource is not for that.
JasperReports does not deal with connection
pooling. Your parent application should take care
of obtaining a connection object and then returning
it to the pool.

Thank you,
Teodor

I have the same scenario and what Teodor said is correct.

I get a connection from my connection pool myself and pass that to JasperReports.
