There are a few entries on the wiki that describe accessing JBoss datasource 
remotely via JNDI from external JVMs.   They all describe this capability, 
experimental, not recommended, etc.

e.g. this one: 
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=HowCanIAccessADataSourceFromAClient 
says:

anonymous wrote : Note: Exposing a Datasource remotely is NOT recommended. 

and this one: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ConfigDataSources says:

anonymous wrote : JBoss does not recommend using this feature on a production 
environment.

The one specific risk listed is that if the client dies (or fails to close 
connections), it will cause a connection leak.  JBoss is not going to try and 
detect the client's death and proactively clean up for the client.  

This makes sense, but are there other risks of using this remote datasource 
capability?

I am talking in terms of JBoss 4.0.5.

thanks!
