--------------------------------------------------
why was the ability to deploy *-ds.xml datasources removed?  In JBoss 6 we have an ant script that copies .war files and -ds.xml files to remote servers and they are deployed just fine without having to do anything specific to configure the jboss installation.  With this method, it seems we have to go into each server and maintain it's configuration for what apps are going to be deployed.

@DataSourceDefinition seems problamatic because it makes it very difficult for us to deploy the same war file to test, stage, and production.

It looks like we can also put the datasource in web.xml, but then we loose JTA container management, correct?

this seems like such a simple thing but could be a deal breaker for us, since jboss6 and glassfish both let us easily deploy datasources.
