Get DataSource from persistance-unit definition

[borfnorton]

Hi,
I have an existing RESOURCE_LOCAL DataSource that happens to be defined in a META-INFO/persistence.xml file

However I need to use/inject the DataSource to a non-JPA piece of code, that just needs to get a connection from the DataSource defined there.

How can I do this?

Any ideas anyone?

You should have a Datasource defined as a bean somewhere in your spring xml or java config files. Try to autowire in the datasource and get the connection from that.

@Autowired
DataSource dataSource;

public someMethod(){
   Connection conn = datasource.getConnection();
}
