The docs under 'JDBC Data Sources' at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html say, "The J2EE Platform Specification requires J2EE Application Servers to make available a DataSource implementation (that is, a connection pool for JDBC connections)."
Now, I'm *not* criticising the docs, I'm seeking clarification. I'm not sure whether this is saying that a JDBC DataSource has to be pooled? Or is instead saying that J2EE requires pooled JDBC connections, or maybe that J2EE requires connections via a DataSource? I didn't think that DataSources had to be pooled, based on what is says here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/sql/DataSource.html This might sound like nit picking, but the answer to this will help me help someone else on another thread.
