JDBC Datasource property should allow to select or create a bean

[lhein]

When configuring a JDBC component you have to specify a mandatory Data Source Name. This can be the name of an existing bean (don't use the # for a bean reference, this doesn't work in this case...just use the plain name) or alternatively you can put there one of 2 constants:

• dataSource
• default

If you specify one of these 2 constants then the JDBC component will try to lookup a datasource bean from the registry. (See the tooltip in the screenshot below)

Ok, if I'm understanding correctly, in this case, the dataSource field should allow to create or select existing beans but without having a # prefix.

It can be also a predefined constant...see above description

yup, I saw that part as well. Judging by the list of custom features this field might require, I think it would be better to provide something custom for this case. It could also automatically add predefined beans for known databases.
