/**
 * <p>A factory for connections to the physical data source that this
 * {@code DataSource} object represents.  An alternative to the
 * {@code DriverManager} facility, a {@code DataSource} object
 * is the preferred means of getting a connection. An object that implements
 * the {@code DataSource} interface will typically be
 * registered with a naming service based on the
 * Java Naming and Directory (JNDI) API.
 * <P>
 * The {@code DataSource} interface is implemented by a driver vendor.
 * There are three types of implementations:
 * <OL>
 *   <LI>Basic implementation -- produces a standard {@code Connection}
 *       object
 *   <LI>Connection pooling implementation -- produces a {@code Connection}
 *       object that will automatically participate in connection pooling.  This
 *       implementation works with a middle-tier connection pooling manager.
 *   <LI>Distributed transaction implementation -- produces a
 *       {@code Connection} object that may be used for distributed
 *       transactions and almost always participates in connection pooling.
 *       This implementation works with a middle-tier
 *       transaction manager and almost always with a connection
 *       pooling manager.
 * </OL>
 * <P>
 * A {@code DataSource} object has properties that can be modified
 * when necessary.  For example, if the data source is moved to a different
 * server, the property for the server can be changed.  The benefit is that
 * because the data source's properties can be changed, any code accessing
 * that data source does not need to be changed.
 * <P>
 * A driver that is accessed via a {@code DataSource} object does not
 * register itself with the {@code DriverManager}.  Rather, a
 * {@code DataSource} object is retrieved through a lookup operation
 * and then used to create a {@code Connection} object.  With a basic
 * implementation, the connection obtained through a {@code DataSource}
 * object is identical to a connection obtained through the
 * {@code DriverManager} facility.
 * <p>
 * An implementation of {@code DataSource} must include a public no-arg
 * constructor.
