!%@$#%@ DataSource

As I mentioned, I'm moving to SimpleORM 3 from SimpleORM 2 via Hibernate.

I'm having trouble with the idea of writing an implementation of javax.sql.Datasource.  In V2 I didn't have to write anything like that.  I suppose I could just copy the example in TestUte but this seems like such basic functionality that it should be provided by javax.sql or by the JDBC driver that I'm using.  I should be able to do something like

getDatabaseDriverFromConnectionString(myConnectionString).getConnectionPool().getDataSource()

or something, right?  Can't I use the connection string to find the right JDBC driver, and then use the JDBC driver to get a connection pool, and then use the connection pool to get a DataSource?

Am I completely out to lunch?  What am I missing?  Why is it so much harder to connect to the database using the new JDBC (and hence the new SimpleORM)?

ARghh, thanks for listening and for any advice.
