I'm about to begin my first project with java
Let me tell how I used to handle these things...
So far now, I've been workin on asp with a com+ componente made with VB6.
The component is registered via the com+ administration console with a domain user, something lile my_company_domain\my_app_account
The components reads the configuration from an udl file, configured to access the DB with integrated security.
I invoke the componente from asp with server.createobject, the component runs with the specified domain account, and so every DB access runs with this account...
What I like from this approach is the following:
use of integrated security - no sql users
no need to recompile anything to change db (edit udl file) or domain account (edit com+ component configuration)
pooled connections (as I'm always using the same connection string)
production staff can alter the configuration without leaving the account password on a text file
...
well, what would be the best way to achieve something like this on java???
I've already saw something about Commons-DBCP, is it possible to use integrated security with this???
thanks a lot...

added in response to a comment
by integrated security I mean I only have to configure a domain account, and that's it, I use no sql server accounts, just the account under which the VB6 com+ component is run.
Ok, maybe that's not the appropiate term, but I hope you get the idea...
