Re: Removing our datasource/pooling implementation.

Kris,

AFAIR, the jdbccts requires a data source, not sure about the pooling
implementation.

Hibernate has a sub-standard pooling implementation and explicitely logs
this fact when it starts up.
I'm of two minds here, if we tell people that it isn't intended for
production, AND they actually read it, we could leave it in.
On the other hand if it really doesn't work and isn't necessary then it
is just extra code we need to maintain.

+1 for removal of the pooling implementation if it isn't required for
jdbccts.
