 M2 has an added feature that allows you to pass in an app context, which
 could be used to pass in a connection handle.  On the Engine Task there is a
 method called setContext which takes an Object parameter to do this.  I dont
 believe this context is used in the JDBC driver yet.  This method was put in
 to pass Object data to the ODA layer.  This would allow an ODA developer to
 use this context for quite a few things.
 
 Sorry for the long winded explanation.  The short answer is, I dont think
 what you want is in there yet.
 
 Another option is to use a scripted data source and pass in object using the
 engine API.
 task.addScriptableJavaObject("DBHandle", DBHandleInstance);
 then in the scripted DS reference this object to make your connection and
 query.  The problem with this approach is you have to do quite a bit of
 scripting and you dont have the GUI to build your query.
