Creating a DataSource

Hello, can you help me?

I have already read many tutorials and code examples but I don't manage to create a DataSource in Java!

I have put the driver into the lib-Folder of my Eclipse workspace and Eclipse knows about that (I added the jar file to my project). The driver has the name hsqldb.jar, the classpath is org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver

How can I create a DataSource to read and write databases? I think, the second step (dataSource.getConnection()) won't be any problem, but my problem is the first step. Just for your information: The driver is not the problem: With a DriverManager, I don't have any problem; I can create, change and delete (drop) databases without any problem, but with the DataSource, I'm going to become desparate directly at the beginning...

Can you write my the lines for creating a DataSource? Thank you very much in advance!!!

Re: Creating a DataSource

Which database is being used by you???
If you have given the .jar files correctly then now you have to give some details to connect with database like:

String DRIVER_NAME = "com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"; // for mysql db
String DB_URL = "jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name"; //3306 is port number
String USERID= "root"; //root is default username
String PASSWORD = "root"; //root is default password

private Connection getConnection() throws ClassNotFoundException, SQLException
{
// Step -1 Load the Database Driver
Class.forName(DRIVER_NAME);
// Step -2 Create Connection
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(DB_URL,USERID,PASSWORD);
return con;
}

For other databases (other than MySql) search the drivers name and port number your self.
