Right - I went straight to 1.4 - with Tomcat 5.5.31.

Again you are right. I did the upgrade to 1.4 (and to
commons-pool-1.5.5) -
and as you suspeced - the error remains.

What about the DBCP-FAQ?
How can I add the procedure to it?

Yes - this seems to be the complete procedure.

Now the next step is a downgrade to dbcp 1.2.x - do I have to downgrade
commons-pool for that step, too?


Kind regards
