Actually I participated to the DBCP effort as well https://issues.apache.org/jira/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20OFBIZ%20AND%20text%20~%20%22dbcp%22 BTW just noticed https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4283 I read that DBCP was stagnant from the Tomcat team, http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jdbc-pool.html#Introduction point 5, which is indeed maybe biased Still, I agree moving to Atomikos seems the way.
