The concern here is definitely when the 2 users are NOT sharing the same container.  How would user 2 know which connector to hook up a new CF to?  IOW, how would he have any clue the source type should be Oracle, for instance?  Do we have to include *-ds.xml files to accomplish this?  Thus far, we haven't been planning on doing this...
