No. It stores connection information, and DataSource.getConnection() can be used to establish a connection with the data source that this DataSource object represents.
DriverManager is used to register and load drivers and then establish connection and the DataSource interface for establishing connections. Just the Way a DriverManager returns a Connection object.
DataSource returns a Connection object when a method getConnection() is called. While the DriverManger loads driver classes(actually the drivers register with the DriverManager when they are loaded). [ August 31, 2006: Message edited by: Saif Uddin ]
