BTW, here is a Wiki FAQ article on that:
http://objectstyle.org/confluence/display/CAY/Setting+Database+Connection
Lately I personally prefer a custom DataSourceFactory (briefly mentioned
in the article above) that creates a "lazy" DataSource instance that pops
a Swing login panel whenever the first connection is requested by the app.
This is the cleanest solution IMO.
