Next releases: [dbcp] - 1.3 close as many of the 1.3-marked bugs as possible without the new pool impl and add instrumentation using JDK logging, therefore increasing required JDK level to 1.4.
+1. Instrumentation is strongly needed.
Resolution of some issues involving close behavior may have to be deferred to rework of pool-dbcp connection (move to CompositePools). Continue dependency on [pool]'s GOP in this release. More aggressive bug fixing, performance improvement -> more testing, public beta required. Need to talk about a strategy for that.
It'd be very nice to get a test suite, separate from the unit tests, that we can point at an undefined database and churn through. It could do performance testing as well as veracity testing.
[pool] - push out a 1.3.1 including fixes applied since 1.3 and if possible, fixes for POOL-97, POOL-93, with dbcp 1.3 depending on this. The idea here is the 1.3.x branches of [pool] and [dbcp] continue to support existing clients with full backward compatibility at JDK 1.4 level, providing bug fixes but no new functionality or APIs.
My general thoughts on [pool] are 'whatever [dbcp] needs it to do'.
"2.0"'s: (Work could begin now on branches, concurrently with 1.x releases above) [dbcp]: 2.0 move to CompositePool backing and add JDBC 4 support, increasing JDK level to 1.5 and removing currently deprecated classes. If 1.x-incompatible changes are necessary (not obvious at this point that they are), rename affected packages dbcp2. [pool]: 2.0 release compositepool package, resolve open pool bugs. JDK level upped to 1.5. Investigate use of JDK concurrency package to improve performance and/or resolve some open pool issues.
I'd have to find time to help out with the minor releases before I probably have huge ideas here.
Comments, suggestions, *volunteers*?
Definitely a volunteer. My Commons load is: CLI release ASAP. BeanUtils helping Niall. Starting to ponder an EL bugfix push. Try to get more into DBCP. Timeline for DBCP is probably a month away still - though I'm optimistic that I can lure some colleagues into it then too. A testing scaffold for DBCP should scratch a few of their itches.
