What exactly do you mean by " database connection pooling in Jackrabbit without DataSources"? DataSource is just an interface to isolate jackrabbit from the details of who and how is providing database connection. Jackrabbit doesn't need to know how exactly the data source obtains the connection, or if it is from a pool or not.
The whole idea is to make jackrabbit agnostic of source of the connection while allowing easy configuration for scenarios when jackabbit actually is responsible for managing the database connections (embedded databases). -Matej > Regards, > Alex > > > -- > Alexander Klimetschek > [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
