Hi, I am trying to understand both Matej and Alexander / Marcel...
In my view Jackrabbit should be able to obtain database connections using a JDBC URL as well as a data source name. If Jackrabbit requires some kind of connection pooling, that should be integrated in Jackrabbit - otherwise it is not possible to use Jackrabbit in a standalone application. Otherwise FirstHop couldn't be started from the command line. It's not required to explicitly declare data sources in repository.xml, and I believe it should not be declared because it is added complexity for the user of Jackrabbit. Connection pooling can be implemented in another way, for example as it is done in the DbDataStore now, or using commons-dbcp. Maybe there is even a simpler solution, I don't know yet. I guess we should try to find a better solution for this problem. Regards, Thomas
