This is very good, you are finding all the little hacks I put in and forgot
to go back and fix ;-)

I will have to spend a little time looking into this.

What I thought was happening...

your app asks (FB)DataSource for a connection

ConnectionManager figures out (from PrincipalMappingProperties and
PrincipalMapping) who you are, and constructs a Subject.

ConnectionManager calls mcf.createManagedConnection, with this subject.

This subject is used to attach to the db.

--------------

Ignoring the subject and cri in getConnection is not so good, but... the
connection is already established then. In this case we could either check
that the subject is the same as the original one for the connection, or...


since the physical connections are not in 1-1 correspondence to the
ManagedConnections, so any ManagedConnection can handle work on any
transaction, we could look for/create a physical connection with the
correct subject and use it.


I don't have time right now to investigate this as much as I would like.
Let me know if you come up with anything.

Thanks
