FYI using dbcp JTA part with a tomcat-jdbc backend pool is a bad idea we loose a lot of benefit of tomcat-jdbc and code is not clean.
next idea is to either find a way to contribute to commons-dbcp tomcat features or to let our DataSourceFactory create simple datasources and manage ourself JTA link (= all manageddatasoruce stuff of commons dbcp from our own code with proxies) wdyt? - Romain 2012/7/21 Romain Manni-Bucau <rmannibu...@gmail.com> > Do we try to use tomcat dbcp in tomee?
