Deployment of DataSource with Library SDA

Question

Hi,
as mentioned in:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/bb/69da54d8aedc419d46d9ea074e4d41/frameset.htm
it should be poosible to deploy a DataSource together with my Library SDA. I have the data-sources.xml in the  "/server/descriptors" directory of the library SDA
When I deploy the library i can't see the DataSource anywhere in Visual Admin (eg JDBC Connector). How can I be sure the DataSource is deployed. Or has it to be registered under JDBC Connector in Visual Admin anyway?
Thanks,
Lars

I've tested it on different Netweaver Versions, current one is 7.00 SP9 (1000.7.00.9.1.20060913120000).
My data-sources.xml looks like (this is created be exporting a working datsource via Visual Admin):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE data-sources SYSTEM 'data-sources.dtd'>
<data-sources>
  <application-name>ee/escriba</application-name>
  <data-source>
    <data-source-name>EscribaDS</data-source-name>
    <driver-name>ORACLE</driver-name>
    <max-connections>25</max-connections>
    <max-time-to-wait-connection>60</max-time-to-wait-connection>
    <sql-engine>vendor_sql</sql-engine>
    <jdbc-2.0>
      <cpds-class-name>oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource</cpds-class-name>
      <object-factory>oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory</object-factory>
      <properties>
        <property>
          <property-name>user</property-name>
          <property-value>test_123_e</property-value>
        </property>
        <property>
          <property-name>password</property-name>
          <property-value>test_123_e</property-value>
        </property>
        <property>
          <property-name>url</property-name>
          <property-value>jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.200.8:1521:XE</property-value>
        </property>
      </properties>
    </jdbc-2.0>
  </data-source>
</data-sources>
and is located under: ./server/descriptors
Does it need to be referenced in any other deployment descriptor?
