JDBC Connection sharing between java and cobol

Hello,

I have the following java code :

Connection connection = null;
try {

    /* DB2 */
    Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver");
    connection = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:db2://db2server:50000/mycooldb2

}
catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
catch (SQLException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

RunUnit runUnit = new RunUnit();
XVsd138l vsd138L = (XVsd138l) runUnit.GetInstance(XVsd138l.class);

vsd138l.XVsd138l(sl_ext_uebergabe, sextuebergabe, sl_uebergabevsdl18l, suebergabevsdl18l);

XVsd138L is a Cobol Program as Bytecode with ILSMARTLINKAGE. It does some SELECTS from "mycooldb2" and returns the values. I would like to use the database connection that has been established with java. The Documentation speaks about using "DB2 BIND CONNECTION" inside COBOL. But I have no clue what to do in java in order to get this working.

Some Code examples would be great

Kind regards

Michael
