[Springframework-developer] Why does SingleConnectionDataSource always set autoCommit=true?

[Colin S. <col...@ex...>]

I want to use SingleConnectionDataSource with Hibernate, so I can wrap a 
connection I get from a Hibernate Session, and feed it as a DataSource 
to JDBCTemplate/JDBCHelper.

However, right now I've had to make my own variant since the current 
code always calls
  source.setAutoCommit(true);
in the init() method.  This seems very arbitrary to me. At least in the 
case when the class is given an existing connection, it should just 
assume the commit option has been set appropriately on the connection.

Even in the case when the class is opening the connection itself from an 
existing DataSource, there needs to be an option to set autoCommit 
either way.
