Using com.mysql.jdbc.Connection with tomcat dbcp driver connection pool

Hi all,

I am trying to implement a web app that uses the com.mysql.jdbc.Connection with a tomcat connection pool using dbcp drivers.

When trying to return the connection object frmo the datasource i can get a java.sql.Connection object, but then cannot cast this into a com.mysql.jdbc.Connection object.

The connection object returned is of type:
org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolableConnection - which implements the java.mysql.Connection interface - why cant i cast it?? I presume that the mysql Connection object does not implement some methods...

see code:

private javax.sql.DataSource queryDataSource = null;
java.sql.Connection connTemp = queryDataSource.getConnection();


Therefore does anyone have code samples of how to integrate the com.mysql.jdbc.* objects with tomcat connection pools??? Do i need to write my own connection pool?? please say no!!

thanks

will
