The JNDI tag lib is great for general JNDI usage. But
a JDBC jndi data source is only usable by a tag lib
designed to do JDBC. Adding support to get a dB
connection from a named jndi jdbc data source is trivial.
This change makes it simpler to use the jdbc tag set when the
servlet container provides jdbc connections via a
jndi data source.
My vote is to include support in the jdbc tag lib for
named jndi jdbc data sources directly.
