I am developing an application that needs to call a DB2 function on the mainframe to get an id.

In my spring application context, I have defined my jdbc template to query DB2 on zOS thusly:

    <bean id="jdbcTemplateDB2"
       class="org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate">
         <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSourceDB2"/>
    </bean>

I then define the datasource as follows:

 <bean id="dataSourceDB2" 
    class="com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2DataSource">
        <property name="serverName" value="hostname" />
        <property name="portNumber" value="portno"/>
        <property name="databaseName" value="dbname"/>
        <property name="driverType" value="4"/>
        <property name="user" value="userid"/>
        <property name="password" value="password"/>
 </bean>

The above works.
However, looking inside the ibm’s db2jcc.jar files, I see a class for datasource WITH connection pooling – com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource. So I tried to use that instead of the one above – like so :

 <bean id="dataSourceDB2"
    class="com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource">
        <property name="serverName" value="hostname" />
        <property name="portNumber" value="portno"/>
        <property name="databaseName" value="dbname"/>
        <property name="driverType" value="4"/>
        <property name="user" value="userid"/>
        <property name="password" value="password"/>
 </bean>

However, using the DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource gives me the following error.

Cannot convert value of type [com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2ConnectionPoolDataSource] to required type [javax.sql.DataSource] for property 'dataSource': no matching editors or conversion strategy found

The complete stackTrace is below

What am I doing wrong? What is the correct way to use a connection pooled datasource while instantiating the Spring JdbcTemplate?

Any help is appreciated.

    Have you read this one: http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?66142-How-to-use-javax-sql-datasource-with-a-ConnectionPoolDataSource

    It says com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2DataSource is already a connection pool if used correctly.
