[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - jboss-beans.xml vs *-ds.xml

I am trying to understand the difference between jboss-beans.xml and the JCA datasources configured in the *-ds.xml file (where * can be anything) when used with the microcontainer. (In this case, jboss-beans.xml is defining a datasource.) If I take out jboss-beans.xml it appears that Seam cannot locate the datasource. If I put them both in, I am not convinced that the *-ds.xml is serving any purpose. My question, so that the you good readers have something to answer, is: How do I use *-ds.xml with the microcontainer and avoid using the jboss-beans.xml file? Or, perhaps a better question is: Why is are the *-ds.xml files included in the examples at all? (They do not appear to be serving any purpose.)
