You don't say if the DBCP is managed by the container (Tomcat) or by your webapp. If it's the former, the pool will persist for the life of Tomcat (but see the link below). If the latter, your best bet is to implement a ServletContextListener that will explicitly shut down the pool when the contextDestroyed() method is called. The servlet spec even uses this situation as an example. An easier link to follow for the previously reference discussion thread is this: http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=123529838331464&w=2 And the critical messages of the thread: http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=123532841602124&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=tomcat-user&m=123532986503723&w=2 - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
