Getting a hold on a component

[Oki DZ <ok...@pindad.com>]

Hi,

I'd like to have a JDBC connection out of a db pool from my class (which
happens to be not a Component). How can I accomplish this? It seems that
if you use DefaultComponentManager.lookup(), you have to invoke that from
a Component (which was loaded/used by a Block).

TIA,
Oki

I am not sure what you mean. You can always go something like

JdbcDataSource ds = new JdbcDataSource();
ds.configure( myConfig );
ds.initialize();

ds.getConnection();

As most people use Avalon outside of Phoenix you definetly don't need to be a 
Block (or a Component) to do above. However if you want to receive the 
Component via a ComponentManager then you have to implement Composable.
