Connection Manager
Penrose uses the connection manager to manage connections to the mapped data sources. Once you start Penrose, you can get the connection manager:
ConnectionManager connectionManager = penrose.getConnectionManager();
Then you can use the connection manager to open the actual connection by supplying the connection name as defined in connections.xml.
String connectionName = "ExampleDB"; Object object = connectionManager.openConnection(connectionName);
If the connection is a JDBC connection, you will get an SQL Connection object:
Connection con = (Connection)object;
If the connection is a JNDI connection, you will get a DirContext object:
DirContext ctx = (DirContext)object;
