JDBCAppender: allow to use JNDI datasource

Hi Gino,
 
You're right that the JDBCAppender is not of production quality. This is the 
second problem I discovered in this class. The first was when we were using an 
old version of log4j which has the persistent major memory leak in the flush 
method and the most recent memory leak due to stale connection. This parcular 
problem is very subtle(which could be caused the firewall or a *database 
restart or crash.*) as it's very hard to pinpoint where the memory leak is 
occuring in.
 
In a J2EE environment it is ill advised to use file based logging destination 
as it contravene the EJB specification rule.  This is where JDBCAppender or 
JMSType destination could be use.
