shibboleth.InterceptFlow - share DB Connection Pooling with Shibboleth via 'global.xml'

[Lionel Samuel]

Darn....unfortunately we have to perform both read/write... basically will
allow users option to bypass password reset up to X times on expiry (by
setting a counter in DB). And will also display pages where user can
interact with counter -- be redirected app where can reset password.

I have it working -- but with a DB connection in XML file local to the JAR.
Trying for last few days -- I can't figure out how to get the global
context and piggyback the Db connection/pooling in 'global.xml'  --- could
anyone point me perhaps to an example?

public ResetPasswordCounter() {
            super();

ResetPasswordCounterLog.info("ResetPasswordCounter.constructor()", "loading
db-connection.xml ", null);
            this.context = new
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("db-connection.xml");
            this.ResetPasswordCounterModel =
(ResetPasswordCounterJDBCTemplate)
context.getBean("resetPasswordCounterJDBCTemplate");
        }
