Class DBConnection

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.fusioncharts.database.DBConnection

public class DBConnection
extends java.lang.Object

Contains methods to get a connection to the database.
The database used here is MySQL
This class contains code to connect to the database
The DSN looked up for connection is "jdbc/FactoryDB". Please configure the same DSN in your server.
Only one instance of this class should ideally be used throughout your application.
For demo purpose, we have kept the default constructor available to all classes.
Ideally you would override the default constructor and write a getInstance method which will
return a single DBConnection instance always,thus making it a singleton class.
