manipulating JDBC Datasources from a java application or servlet

Generally, such operations are implemented in product vendor specific ways and outside of application code.

For example, in Allaire JRun, you can use the management console, or in weblogic you can specify a JDBC data source in some properties file etc.

I know the above may sound stupid in light of your question specifically targeting application code. However, I think a good question to ask in return is Do you really have a need to do it from application code

Maybe we can help, if you explain a little more.

What do you mean with:

> How can i manipulate - add, delete, update - JDBC

> Datasources from a java applcation or servlet?

Do you want to

* create databases

* change a database's properties

* create or change tables

* create or change the rows in tables

Each of these would be - more or less - possible, but on its own way.

Or do you maybe want to configure ODBC Datasources (DSNs) for use with the JDBC-ODBC-Bridge?

Thats all I can guess from what you told us. Tell more!
