Hi,

Thank you Dinesh but this is not working for me. I am using a third 
party package that requires a java.sql.Connection instance as a parameter.
You cannot cast DBConnection to java.sql.connection. For example that 
package often calls
Connection.prepareStatement(..) something that misses from DBConnection.
Moreover provided that DBConnection uses the sql.connection internally 
why there is no method
to give us an instance or even why not make DBConnection implement 
Conncetion.
It will save a lot of hustle. If the possibility of someone invoking 
close on a connection is
the impediment then simply override close to check some flag whether it 
is legal to close a connection.
That flag could be set internally when needed.

Thank you

PS:
Lewis also had a similar problem. however it will be great if the 
expresso guys consider including his method in the next release of Expresso.
public Connection getConnection() {if (myConnection == null) {return 
null;}return myConnection;}
It is all about compatibility :-)
