I just had a look at the orcl namespace in the JDBC Extensions for Oracle, and it seems to always create beans of type oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource, which is part of Oracle's Implicit Connection Caching for Oracle 10g and higher.

However, starting with version 11g, Oracle offers an additional connection pool called the Universal Connection Pool (UCP).

* Is it correct that the JDBC Extensions for Oracle currently support the older Implicit Connection Caching only?
* If I were to configure the Universal Connection Pool without namespace support, will the other features like Fast Connection Failover and Streams AQ support work as expected?
* Should I raise a Jira for UCP support?

Thanks, Dan
