* the traditional JDBC API that are specific to a data source. Developers may wish to gain access to
* these resources that are wrapped (the delegates) as proxy class instances representing the
* the actual resources. This interface describes a standard mechanism to access
* these wrapped resources
* represented by their proxy, to permit direct access to the resource delegates.
