How can I change another dataSource (not default c3p0) in Play 1.4.3

Question

In Play 1.4.3, the default pool is c3p0 . I wanna change it.

Something like follows:

db=java:/comp/env/jdbc/myDatasource@
db=jndi:jdbc/myDataSource

how can I config to make it work?

Changing the pool would effectively mean changing the framework code itself, since it's "bundled" with Play.

One way to do this is to clone Play from GitHub ( https://github.com/playframework/play1 ) so you can make whatever low-level changes you like.

Alternatively, you could look at the 1.5.x releases, which use HikariCP as the connection pool out of the box.
