If you mean the one you describe in your post with the Jython
code, I can't help, mainly because I can't parse it.  For
one thing I think you are using TABs instead of spaces, and
many newsreaders will eliminate leading tabs so it makes the
code pretty hard to decipher.  I could probably figure it out
anyway, except that I think you have a bug as well:

#jdbc.py
class DataSource:
def __init__(self, servername):
self.servername = servername

def create(name, connectionInfo, etc):
#Call the IBM supplied WebSphere config object
AdminConfig.create('DataSource')


This is how it looked to me.  The presumed bug is in the "create"
method definition, where you are not supplying a "self" parameter.
At least, I assume that is a method of DataSource and not
a module-level function, because in the previous code you were
trying to call ds.create() where ds was a DataSource object.

I'd probably have some ideas if you reposted with leading
spaces and explained or fixed the supposed bug.
