Datasources & Flow

[Miles Elam]

What is the accepted way of accessing datasources in Flow.  I've seen a 
few things on the dev and users list, but nothing definitive.  I realize 
that it's still in discussion, but what's the current best practice?

-----

In an unrelated issue, can datasources be restricted by password?  What 
do I mean?

Let's take the case of a single Cocoon instance that serves multiple 
sites a la:

main sitemap
  |
  +-------> sub sitemap for www.foo.com
  |
  +-------> sub sitemap for www.bar.com
  |
  +-------> sub sitemap for www.oof.com
  |
  +-------> sub sitemap for www.rab.com
and each site is maintained by a different person (as is the case with 
hosting).  Now, for databases, you can assign each site a different 
datasource (by telling the person, "Hey you!  You're using datasource 
'foo'.").  But then there is nothing stopping admin 1 from 
looking/manipulating admin 2's data.  There's using JDBC directly, but 
then doesn't that drop pooling and lookup convenience?

Is this already handled and I missed it?
