java memcached client & tomcat

[John Navil Joseph]

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Ideally there should be a single memcached connection pool available
in the web server, and it should be made available to the servlets
through the initial context.

For example this is the way I connect to my MySQL databases, by making
use of a connection that I get from the existing connection pool.

      Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
      Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");

     DataSource ds = (DataSource)
        envCtx.lookup("jdbc/TestDB");

     Connection conn = ds.getConnection();

I know it is possible to achieve the same functionality with the
SockIOPool as well. But how exactly do I use SockIOPool in the web
server?

Thanks,
John
