Add support for datasource failover
-----------------------------------

         Key: JBAS-1391
         URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-1391
     Project: JBoss Application Server
        Type: Feature Request
  Components: JCA service  
    Versions: JBossAS-4.0.1 Final,  JBossAS-3.2.7 Final    
    Reporter: Scott M Stark
 Assigned to: Scott M Stark 


The change to 
org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.local.LocalManagedConnectionFactory
is easier than org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.xa.XAManagedConnectionFactory

In LocalManagedConnectionFactory add a property "delimiter"
which when present will parse the connectionURL into multiple urls.

In XAManagedConnectionFactory you will also need a property to identify which 
of the xaProps needs to be parsed for mulitple urls.
i.e. you need to identify which property contains the server to contact.

In both cases, if createManagedConnection fails for the first url, replace it 
with the second url, and try again until all urls are exhausted.

Of course, you can get clever and remember which urls are currently failing and 
try the non failing urls first, And also if the db is replicating, you might 
want it to "load balance"
connections across the urls?

Also, this design does not allow for using different properties with different 
db servers, e.g. user and password might change across the servers.

It also doesn't enforce that only connections from one connectionURL (db 
server) are in the pool at the same time in the event the db is not replicating.

If you are going to do this, I would suggest you subclass/replicate the managed 
connection factories and create separate rars so we can mark them as 
experimental.
