The use database action available from both web and ejb modules establishes a connection (which remains open after the wizard completes) and uses the description field of the resource reference to specify the database connection nodes display name.

While this is not currently formalized in the j2ee server api, this technique could also be employed by the tomcat plug-in to configure a database.
