Resource Connections

by Dale Green

Both enterprise beans and web components can access a wide variety of resources, including database, mail sessions, Java Message Service objects, and URLs. The J2EE platform provides mechanisms that allow you to access all of these resources in a similar manner. This chapter describes how to get connections to several types of resources. Although the code examples in this chapter are from enterprise beans, they will also work in web components.
