Re: Help Needed with Connection Pooling for Java Swing Based: msg#00267

Subject: Re: Help Needed with Connection Pooling for Java Swing Based
Dear Derek, Scott & Barry,
                   Thank you for your replies.  But, when I give the 
system.exit call
the whole application is closed.  This is not what I want to do.  I just
want to close only that particular form/ window alone and return the
connection to the pool.  Please let me know how this can be achieved. 
Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

Shan.
