Currently the JNDI name for a datasource is specified when the datasource is first created, and no support is provided for changing or deleting it afterwards. VisualWeb users have expressed a need to change the name, either to match an existing JNDI name on the server, or to avoid a conflict. This would require additions to the API.
Are you talking about datasource JNDI name or about resource reference name? At this point I see no real need for adding the API you are talking about. BTW, what conflict would you like to avoid? It would be great if you could list all the use cases which would use this API.
