Just write your own simple class that loads the driver and sets it up when
it's instantianted. Write a method for it called getCon, for example, that
returns a java.sql.Connection and takes as input an init string plus a
boolean to determine whether it is in autocommit mode or not.

When your getCon method gets a connection from the driver, it sets
autocommit on the connection using the boolean passed in, sets any other
parameters you like, then returns the connection.

You can hide all the driver specific stuff in here. That way you can change
drivers, database types and other details in one location without changing
the rest of your code.

You can even hide things like the usernme and password in here or details
like pooling parameters and even the suffix for the database file name.

This can also be helpful for a JSP if you want to distribute most of the JSP
in easily modifiable .jsp file format, but hide those database details from
the user by compiling your class and only distributing its .class file with
the web app. It's not fool proof but it does help limit access to that
info.

This is the kind of stuff OO languages like Java were designed for, so the
lack of a autocommit switch in getConnection is really a non-issue.

The code to do this is probably shorter than the paragraph above. Hope this
helps!
