Or.. using IOC the container could supply a mailetDatasource on
initialisation which would have a single method.. getConnection().

The last would make it harder for a single mailet to access more than one
datasource, so I prefer the MailetContext().getConnection(datasourceName)
route.

The IOC approach using MailetContext().getConnection( key ) gets my vote
(where key is a key to one of possibly multiple datasource URLs declared by
a particular mailet type).

Cheers, Steve.

(who is watching the Mailet spec subject with interest as it is terribly
consistent with thoughts I have about containment/containers and the freedom
developers should have with respect to lifecycles, lifestyle, etc.).
