> We need a mechanism to make JCA security more pluggable.
> This is to cater for use cases where some extra context needs to be used.
> The connection manager only understands a subject.
> The connection factory (e.g. DataSource) only understands the CRI (method parameters).
> The pooling uses both without needing to understand what they are in detail.
> This change would provide a "wrapper" connection manager that can do things
> more associated to context, e.g. it could be connection factory specific, 
> i.e. it understands the CRI and can do things that the connection factory doesn't do
> or it can do things based on information.
> An example of other information would allowing a per deployment
> security domain such that you have different pre-configured user/password per ejb.
> With something like the following in META-INF/jboss-[web].xml
> <jboss>
> <enterprise-beans>
> <session>
> <ejb-name>Whatever</ejb-name>
> ...
> <resource-ref>
> <res-ref-name>jdbc/DataSource</res-ref-name>
> <jndi-name>java:/MySQLDS</jndi-name>
> <security-domain>FooBar</security-domain>
> </resource-ref>
> </session>
> </enterprise-beans>
> </jboss>
