[17:30:41 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> dont really have any urgent need either for a shared conn pool or for JNDI
[17:31:21 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> but for sanifty's sake it seems like a good idea for the portlet to be using the same sqlserver driver at the portal
[17:31:38 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> even that's not actually a terribly urgent requirement, though
[17:31:48 CDT(-0500)] <athena> certainly just easier to configure and manage
[17:31:59 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> so just bundling a jar with the portlet is fine
[17:32:13 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> but i wasn't quite clear from reading the docs on what the predominate approach actually is
[17:32:19 CDT(-0500)] <athena> and if you use the normal mechanism, that means if someone checks out the project locally and just changes the main jdbc.* properties, those will get carried over to the portlet as expected
