Ok, so at end last, I find out that a connection pool is not visible to
the outside world. The reason I figured that is that Weblogic does allow it
Anyway, that being cleared out of the way,
I am still very much interested in the resource-manager tags and what their
exact use is. Regarding the ...tcx.bind(..., saying it must come in my
code is a real eye opener, I'll carry that bit of advice to my death bed.
