Gee,

Please review Sanka's changes and comment. If there is a good sample
and/or testcases for the DataLocator concept that will be very welcome
as well. One more thing to do would be to update our documentation
with the concepts and its application. Since Sanka is happy, i'm happy
:)

One small nit from me, please use all lowercase in the package name
("dataRetrieval"). Is there a better name other than dataretrieval? Am
sure we will continue to tweak even after we check in the code :)

thanks,
dims
