GridLink DataSorce becomes generic

I have learned a funny thing: when you create a GridLink DataSource, and you don't enable FAN and ONS, the DataSource appears as "generic" in the "Summary of JDBC Data Sources"

On the other hand, if you create a "generic" DataSorce, it still has a ONS tab, and if you enable ONS, the DataSorce magically becomes "gridlink".

In fact even the WLST script necessary to create the resource is exactly the same - apart the extra instructions needed to set the ONS-FAN (Oracle Notification Service - Fast Application Notification) events. The only difference is the extra

cmo.setFanEnabled(true)
cmo.setOnsNodeList('myoracledbserver.com:6200')


(see here for a complete script)

There is no createJDBCSystemResource specific to GridLink.
