Yes, you are correct. Note that data source are currently only used by
the Relational sources. Other sources only consist of just
jca-connector.

For datasource support, I was also thinking, what if we provide few
methods like

addDataSource(name, properties)
deleteDataSource(name)
startDatasource(name);
stopDataSource(name);

That will complete the full functionality as before.
