Bug 368366

Description Justin Spadea 2012-01-11 11:32:40 EST

A new type will be added to the system parts in package eglx.persistence.sql:

externalType SQLJNDIDataSource extends SQLDataSource type NativeType
end

It has no new API, it just obtains the Connection differently than plain JDBC
(SQLDataSource). Users can manually instantiate this, or they can use resource
bindings. It has the same constructors as SQLDataSource, but you pass in the
JNDI name instead of the JDBC URL. If the data source is using Application
authentication instead of Container authentication, the user can pass in a
dictionary with the 'user' and 'password' attributes.

Corresponding Java class for SQLJNDIDataSource will be added to the runtime, subclassing SQLDataSource.
SysLib.getResource() will create SQLJNDIDataSource when the jndi:// URI for a
binding is used.
An SQLException will be thrown if the lookup fails (the name is not found, or the InitialContext cannot be created - as is typically true in non-JEE environments).
