| /** |
| * An interface for the creation of {@code Connection} objects which represent a |
| * connection to a database. This interface is an alternative to the {@code |
| * java.sql.DriverManager}. |
| * <p> |
| * A class which implements the {@code DataSource} interface is typically |
| * registered with a JNDI naming service directory and is retrieved from there |
| * by name. |
| * <p> |
| * The {@code DataSource} interface is typically implemented by the writer of a |
| * JDBC driver. There are three variants of the {@code DataSource} interface, |
| * which produce connections with different characteristics: |
| * <ol> |
| * <li><i>Standard {@code DataSource}</i>: produces standard {@code Connection} |
| * objects with no special features.</li> |
| * <li><i>Connection Pool {@code DataSource}</i>: produces {@code |
| * PooledConnection} objects which require a connection pool manager as an |
| * intermediary component.</li> |
| * <li><i>Distributed transaction {@code DataSource} ("XADataSource")</i>: |
| * produces {@code XAConnection} objects which can be used to handle distributed |
| * transactions which typically require an intermediary transaction manager |
| * component. {@code XAConnection} objects also provide connection pooling |
| * capabilities as well as distributed transaction capabilities.</li> |
| * </ol> |
| * <p> |
| * Note that a JDBC driver which is accessed via the {@code DataSource} |
| * interface is loaded via a JNDI lookup process. A driver loaded in this way |
| * does not register itself with the {@code DriverManager}. |
