Hi there, For some time, the following link has existed:
http://people.apache.org/~fhanik/jdbc-pool/jdbc-pool.html This details a 'new' Tomcat JDBC connection pool, with a number of reasons why this is superior to commons-dbcp However, the standard datasource configuration page mentions that tomcat still uses dbcp by default: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html Is the 'new' Tomcat JBDC connection pool suitable for adoption, and is there a timescale for making this the default pool?
