These? http://people.apache.org/~fhanik/jdbc-pool/jdbc-pool.html Of those 10 objections, only 4 of them are actual objections. "#5 No releases in a while" is not a valid complaint, and the remainder are actually talking about what the new CP has to offer, not judgments against DBCP. What the heck is a static interface, by the way? Note that Tomcat's default connection pool is based upon DBCP. > or > C3PO (which has its own issues, including that it is LGPL licensed). The biggest problem with C3P0 is that it's unsupported (I heard... I can't find anywhere that it says the project is actually dead, but it's been over 3 years since their last release, and it's clearly labeled "beta"). It looks like they might be thinking about another point release. What's wrong with LGPL? I'm not trying to start a holy war... just curious about your objections. > The "feature page" of the tomcat connection pool > (http://people.apache.org/~fhanik/jdbc-pool/jdbc-pool.html) seems > quite promising, but to be honest, it concerns me that the module is > only readily available from a commiter's pages or from source. That is a shame. > 3) Is it considered "released" or still in a beta stage (I found > the beta announcement from 2008)? Don't be fooled by the 1.0.8.5 version number: the fact that it's greater than 1 or doesn't have "beta" or "alpha" or "pre" in it's name has no bearing on its stability or quality. At least, that appears to be how the Tomcat team versions things. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyctJwACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PD15wCgrFjgCYifhkwPZ6r50CYTCVv4 jmMAn0IoBYBvSUT+sGRP+EJidfE1U/Vt =kocK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
