JDBC4.0 API feature sets

Some attachments from the feature sets of JDK5 like generic,MetaDeta and JDO and more..

1) Simpler access( factory) to Datasource,Get the connection of data source by parameters( host,port etc) rather than the JDBC URL.
2) Some enhancements over that state of Connection
3) Complaint to SQL 2003 : This brings
3.1 Associate SQL queries with object structure, inline with ORM ( object relational mapping)
3.2 SQL/XML support for XML datatypes.
4)Easy migration from JDBC rowset model( disconnected datasource access) via XML stand-point.

To me best they have to offer us is point-2 ( enhancement on state of connection). Now conncetion object can provide us a way check the validity of connection rather than just isClosed().
