What specifically are you asking for? Right now it is quite easy to use
the driver to get a (non pooling) jdbc 2 DataSource. I've given some
advice on how to turn this into a jdbc 2 DataSource that actually pools
connections, although I haven't had time to try this myself. Deployment in
this situation is pretty straightforward, you need about 4 jars on your
classpath.

There are as far as I know no deployment requirements in the jdbc spec, so
I don't really see the problem in getting the DataSource from the
ManagedConnectionFactory.

Hoping you can clarify,
