Question

I want to instantiate a Datasource in the Dao Class. I’m following the Spring tutorial http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.x/spring-framework-reference/html/jdbc.html. This is my code snippet:

import org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate;
import org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.*;


public class JdbcUserDao implements UserDao {

    private JdbcTemplate jdbcTemplate;

    public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource){
        this.jdbcTemplate = new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
    }

but I get a “DataSource cannot be resolved to a type”.
How can I fix this?

You need to import it, that’s all:

import javax.sql.DataSource;
