help needed with getting access to ms access!

Hi there!

I've been experimenting with java server pages (jsp) using an apache server with jserv on a linux system. I made some nice interfaces to an oracle database. Now I'm trying to access a MS mdb database file. I could import the file into a different database, like Oracle, but I really want to access the file directly. So far I got some info about creating data source names. This, of course, ain't that hard to do on a windows system, but I don't know how to create one on a linux system, or if it is really necessary.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks! Jos
