-----------------------------------
> Need a public way to get connection to "SpatialMetadata" database
> -----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: SIS-395
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SIS-395
> Project: Spatial Information Systems
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Metadata, Referencing
> Affects Versions: 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8
> Reporter: Martin Desruisseaux
> Assignee: Martin Desruisseaux
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.0
>
>
> There is currently no public API for getting the {{javax.sql.DataSource}}
> instance for Apache SIS {{SpatialMetadata}} database. There is
> {{Initializer.getDataSource()}} method in the
> {{org.apache.sis.internal.metadata.sql}} but this is non-public API, subject
> to change in any future SIS version and will not be accessible in Java 9
> (unless the restriction is bypassed by Java options on the command-line).
> A standard way to provide {{DataSource}} in Java is with _Java Naming and
> Directory Interface_ (JNDI). However there is no JNDI environment by default
> in standard Java installation; JNDI are rather provided by containers like
> Tomcat. We could provide our own micro-JNDI when no environment is installed,
> but it may be disruptive as installing our own JNDI environment would have a
> JVM-wide impact.
> A last-resort approach would be a {{public static DataSource getXXX()}}
> method somewhere, but it would not follow standard mechanisms (JNDI,
> dependency injection, _etc._).
