Creating a DSN entry is a Windows Specific function. You can't manipulate the ODBC settings from within a pure java applicaiton. Windows does have some pretty darn good documentation on the ODBC SDK so if you wanted to try your hand at some JNI to call native windows functions from JAVA, more power to you. I woulldn't want to do it.
Just out of curiosity...Why are you using the ODBC bridge to connect to your database? You should be using a Type IV Driver and screw the ODBC. ODBC is bulky and slow.
