How to use DataSource and External transaction in 9ias?

Question

I'm working on a project that the application server needs to connect to over 100 databases.
I'd like to use connection pooling and external transaction service defined in OC4J's Datasources.
I wonder if anyone has an example of using datasource and external transaction service for OC4J.
Right now, I export toplink project to a java source and do the initialization there manually but I don't know how to use Datasource to get connections and how to use the external transaction service in the java code for OC4J.
I really appreciate you help.

Here is a fill in the blank example on how you could set this up through code:
Project project = new MyProject();
// alternatively, use the XMLProjectReader
server = project.createServerSession();
server.getLogin().useExternalConnectionPooling();
server.getLogin().setConnector(new JNDIConnector(new javax.naming.InitialContext(), "jdbc/DataSourceName"));
// the next line depends on the type of driver you want to use.
server.getLogin().useOracleThinJDBCDriver();
server.getLogin().useOracle();
server.getLogin().setUserName("username");
server.getLogin().setPassword("password");
server.getLogin().useExternalTransactionController();
server.setExternalTransactionController(new Oracle9iJTSExternalTransactionController());
server.logMessages();
server.login();
