Connecting to the Datasource in ColdFusion 8 vs CF 6

["MKK2" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 I have a CF6 application that is running well.  However, I'm in the process of 
upgrading to CF8, and some of the code no longer works.  I've scoured the 
documentation and haven't found information on the replacement code.

 My old code gets a datasource, acquires a database connection, uses the 
connection, and then closes the datasource.


       variables.dsService = CreateObject("java", 
"coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory").DataSourceService;
       variables.dsManager = dsService.getDman();
       variables.dataSource = variables.dsManager.getDataSource(<data source 
name goes here>);
       variables.dbConnection = variables.dataSource.getConnection();
       <code to use the db connection goes here>
       variables.dbConnection.close();

 Under CF8, the error message is  "The getDman method was not found."  So I've 
been unable to find any code that will let me get access to an object that 
implements DataSource, so that I can use my connections.

 Any advice would be appreciated.
