When testing a newly configured datasource we suggest using some very basic JDBC client code embedded in a JSP page. First of all, you should create an exploded WAR archive under the deploy directory which is simply a folder named "jdbcclient.war". In this folder, create a text document named client.jsp and paste the code below:

<%@page contentType="text/html"
 import="java.util.*,javax.naming.*,javax.sql.DataSource,java.sql.*"
 %>
 <%
   
  DataSource ds = null;
  Connection con = null; 
  PreparedStatement pr = null; 
  InitialContext ic; 
  try {
  ic = new InitialContext();
  ds = (DataSource)ic.lookup( "java:/DefaultDS" );
  con = ds.getConnection(); 
  pr = con.prepareStatement("SELECT USERID, PASSWD FROM JMS_USERS");
  ResultSet rs = pr.executeQuery();
  while (rs.next()) {
  out.println("<br> " +rs.getString("USERID") + " | " +rs.getString("PASSWD")); 
  }
  rs.close();
  pr.close();
  }catch(Exception e){
  out.println("Exception thrown " +e); 
  }finally{
  if(con != null){
  con.close();
 }      
} %>
