While looking to upgrade to tomcat7, i understand the connection pool is a major improvement. I read that
commons-dbcp is single threaded, in order to be thread safe commons-dbcp locks the entire pool, even during query validation. So as i understand, the connection pool will be locked when handing out new connections and other threads which need connections from the pool will wait until they are handed their respective connection? Is my understanding right and if anyone could explain this better Thank You Yogesh
