Karaf 4.2.9
The command jdbc:ds-factories is not documented. This is important because the
command exposes the driverName and driveClass needed by the jdbc:ds-create
command.
The current documentation uses a Derby database which has an obvious
driverName. The PostgreSQL driver name is not obvious and finding the name can
be a source of frustration for new users.
Suggestions:
1) Add documentation of jdbc:ds-factories
2) Reference jdbc:ds-factories as the source of driverName and driveClass to
the descriptions of the jdbc:ds-create options -dn and -dc
