Re: SSL confirmation

Ah... ok

I need something like:

<datasources>
<local-tx-datasource>
<jndi-name>PostgresDS</jndi-name>

<connection-url>jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/beyarecords</
connection-url>
<driver-class>org.postgresql.Driver</driver-class>
<user-name>myName</user-name>
<password>myPass</password>

<sslmode>require</sslmode>

</local-tx-datasource>

</datasources>

would that do the trick? Sorry for so many questions.. i have a lot to
learn about postgreSQL ;-)

regards

Andrew
