Your application also can use resource adapters directly instead of using them through a container-managed, application server environment. The following code example shows how your application can access an Oracle database directly using a resource adapter:

import java.util.Hashtable;
import java.sql.Connection;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import javax.naming.*;

import com.ddtek.resource.jdbc.JCAConnectionFactory;
import com.ddtek.resource.jdbc.spi.*;

public class RAExample {

     static public void main(String[] args) {
        try {

     // Create a connection factory instance
     OracleManagedConnectionFactory managedFactory = 
        new OracleManagedConnectionFactory();

     managedFactory.setServerName("MyOracleServer");
     managedFactory.setPortNumber("1521");
     managedFactory.setSID("TEST");

     JCAConnectionFactory factory = (JCAConnectionFactory)
     managedFactory.createConnectionFactory();

     // Get an InitialContext. 
     // Using File System JNDI Service Provider as an example
     Hashtable   env = new Hashtable();

     env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
     "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
     env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:c:/ConnectionFactories");

     Context connectorContext = new InitialContext(env);

     // Bind the connection factory
     try {
        connectorContext.bind("OracleConnectionFactory", factory);
        except) {
           connectorContext.rebind("OracleConnectionFactory", factory);
        }
     }
     catch (Exception except) {
        System.out.println("Error creating DataSource");
        System.exit(0);
        }

     // Connect via the DataSource
     try {

        // Get an InitialContext. 
        // Using File System JNDI Service Provider as an example
        Hashtable env = new Hashtable();

        env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
        "com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory");
        env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "file:c:/ConnectionFactories");

        Context connectorContext = new InitialContext(env);

        // Lookup the connection factory
        DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)
        connectorContext.lookup("OracleConnectionFactory");
        Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection("scott", "tiger");
     }
     catch (Exception except) {
        System.out.println("Looking up connection factory");
        }
     }
}
