That's something that I'm a bit confused about -- there is very little
documentation on the DataSource class in the sources. One comment in
particular confuses me:

/**
* This is a pool of free underlying JDBC connections. If two
* XA connections are used in the same transaction, the second
* one will make its underlying JDBC connection available to
* the pool. This is not a real connection pool, only a marginal
* efficiency solution for dealing with shared transactions.
*/

This is not a real connection pool?

It seems to me that the JavaDoc for this class should be expanded to
explain more just what kind of pool it provides.
