Poked at this idea a little but didn't have time to get it in before the release.

The idea is that instead of doing this as we currently do:

<Resource id="My DataSource" type="DataSource">
  JdbcDriver org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
  JdbcUrl jdbc:hsqldb:file:data/hsqldb/hsqldb
  UserName sa
  Password
  JtaManaged true
</Resource>

<Resource id="My Unmanaged DataSource" type="DataSource">
  JdbcDriver org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
  JdbcUrl jdbc:hsqldb:file:data/hsqldb/hsqldb
  UserName sa
  Password
  JtaManaged false
</Resource>


You can instead utilize the already existing 'provider' attribute to point to things in the openejb.xml file just as you can already use it to point to things declared in a service-jar.xml file.

<Resource id="My DataSource" type="DataSource">
  JdbcDriver org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver
  JdbcUrl jdbc:hsqldb:file:data/hsqldb/hsqldb
  UserName sa
  Password
  JtaManaged true
</Resource>

<Resource id="My Unmanaged DataSource" provider="My DataSource">
  JtaManaged false
</Resource>


Small tweak to reduce the redundant config data.
