That suggests that if I were to look up a DataSource (implemented over JCA) and from it obtain a Connection, that that connection would be between my application client and the database directly. That is, if I traced the network traffic, my AppClient would be connected to the database. But usually I see that the database is contacted by the app [i]server[/i], even in an AppClient scenario. This leads me to believe that something else is going on.
