Well, you /can/, but it wouldn't be a very good idea.

Assuming that the 'datasource' object is still shared among threads,
it's still a bad idea. DataSource objects are not guaranteed to be
threadsafe, so you shoule not share them.
This is a bad example, because you should never cache the DataSource in
the first place: you should always get it from the JNDI tree.
