Thanks, for the effort. It's interesting that when I moved my log4j jar file from my apps directory into tomcat/lib and added the log4j parm in my apps log4j.properties file I got tons of logging messages but none from dbcp..

A commons-user post from a few years ago seems to indicate that DBCP does not do any logging. A cursory look at the source myself confirms this assertion. :( That would have been easier to check than re-configuring my Tomcat ;) Anyhow, you could always browse the code to check for additional statements issued by DBCP. Other than the "validation query" and possibly a COMMIT issued when returning an autocommit=false connection back to an autocommit=true pool (because setting autocommit=true on an autocommit=false connection causes a COMMIT to occur), there should be no query overhead added by DBCP. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhZan8ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PBHigCcCnlWOBhRwU6fwFeKHGeg43+2 HL8AoMGNUUoycYbmPE3T78LD89Ggl7iF =ZhdY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
