problem in connetting using reflection - Mailing list pgsql-jdbc

Hi all,
I am trying to connect to postgresql from a JAVA program.
Previously I used this code:
---------------------------------------------------------------
String classe ="org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3ConnectionPool";
org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3ConnectionPool pg;

pg = Class.forName(classe).newInstance();
pg.setServerName(prop.getProperty(serverName));
pg.setPortNumber((new
Integer(prop.getProperty(serverPortNumber)).intValue());
pg.setDatabaseName(prop.getProperty(databaseName));
pg.setUser(login);
pg.setPassword(password);
---------------------------------------------------------------

I then had to change the application in order to use a generic
DataSource (postgresql, oracle, mysql) and noticed that these classes
have different behaviours:
postgreSQL does not have a callable getUrl(), oracle call it getURL,
oracle need a call to getDriverType(), mySQL use setPortNumber(Integer)
instead of setPortNumber(int).

So I tried to use the java reflection to inspect the
org.postgresql.jdbc3.Jdbc3ConnectionPool class (or other classes) and
call all required methods.

The problem is that, when I use this way (a source is attached) I always
get the error:

Exception in thread "main" org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: La
proprietà ``user'' è mancante. E` obbligatoria.

that is, in english, "The ``user'' property is missing while it is
mandatory."

Of course the 'setUser()' method is called but it doesn't work.

Do you have any idea about this problem?

I thank you very much,
