[Lms-developers] check in of 2 new classes

[bryan h. <bry...@os...>]

Hello all,

Today I am checking in the org.openlms.util.db.DbConnectionFactory 
and the org.openlms.util.db.LMSDbProperties classes.

The ConnectionFactory encapsulates the getting of a 
database connection. By changing a field in the LMSDbProperties
class it is possible to switch from container managed 
database connection to JDBC based database connection.

My reasoning is that you can switch this boolean flag so 
that you can work on the application in a web container
( such as tomcat under netbeans ) 

However when it comes to deployment you can flick the 
switch back again ( I will enhance this class at a later 
stage to use a properties file ).

Another advantage is that it will make the code cleaner,
this advantage will be realised by the fact that we will
not have all that ugly database connection/getting context
and hence datasource crap all over our code (I think it is
bad for readability)

Thoughts anyone ?
