Multiple web.xml database connections in Maven Project

Question

I am not completely new to Java, but I have recently learned about using a web.xml file to connect to a database.

It would be convenient to connect to the mySql I already have set, and a MSSql database within the same maven project.

I have researched this topic a bit, and haven't really found the answer I am looking for.

It isn't really helpful in terms of the question, but I have provided my web.xml as a code base if you would like to show me how this would be done.

Any help in the right direction would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This can be done. I would do some research on Spring and hibernate.

I found this article which may help .

You would need the Microsoft SQL Dependency in your pom.xml, and the correct driver.

Hope this helps.
