I don't think that's weird at all. I've always had applications select the database they connect to at run time, not deployment time. This seems like a major problem to me, with consequences on regression testing etc... It makes no sense to have two identical applications deployed with different datasources.xml, just so the end user can decide which DB to connect to. I can see why it's easier to have it that way from the server end, because you don't have to worry about switching a datasource on an active bean, but that's short sighted. J.D.
