right - ok thats cool then, I was getting worried, but thats fine.

So a "best practice" is to let jackrabbit control the JDBC connections it
uses?

I am *guessing* this is due to the fact that the different connections may
be to disparate databases - or some persistence managers using the
filesystem itself - and jackrabbit tries to co-ordinate this as part of a
JTA transaction?

Jackrabbit explicitly manages it's part of a distributed transaction,
and having the underlying database connection externally managed
actually breaks the transaction support within Jackrabbit.
