Description

In Java 6, the DriverManager can discover additional database drivers by scanning classloader for META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver resources. This obviously won't work in OSGi environment.
We probably will need a little extender that discovers these java.sql.Driver resources and registers the driver with DriverManager.
