Building a sample Web App with STRUTS Part 2 :

Setup the JDBC Driver

Optional: JDBC Driver Setup for MySQL

Setup the database - create sample table

We will create a sample table in the database, a simple EMPLOYEE table having these three fields: shortname CHAR(5), firstname VARCHAR(25), lastname VARCHAR (30). You can create this table directly in your database.

Optional: Create sample table in MySQL using the script

OK! Now we are ready to change our web app for database access !!!

Adding the Database access code to the Action class

	<data-sources>
		<data-source>
		<set-property property ="driverClass"
    			value = "org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" />
		<set-property property ="url" 
		value = "jdbc:mysql://localhost/openstack" />
		</data-source>
	</data-sources>

Now this data source is available to our web application in the "ServletContext", We will extract that in the ActionHandler.
