That's tough to tell. See Mark's comments regarding DBCP, which are positive in my view. Also, the C3P0 folks had another semi-release back in April, so maybe they're actually coming back. I would highly recommend talking to the people on that team to see what their plans are. I can see that their forum is full of complaints about deadlock, though that may be due to misconfiguration or their applications' interference with the library. I wouldn't be surprised to hear a lot of complaints about DBCP deadlocking, too. It's like buying a wireless router on Amazon: half the reviews for X say "best router I ever had, I switched away from Y which was a POS" and then you go look at the reviews for Y and they say the same thing with X and Y reversed. I would say that if things are working for you, there's no reason to switch at all: it's not like a connection pool is a significant part of your infrastructure (meaning that switching shouldn't be too traumatic to your code). - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyc2ocACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PD3GwCcDg4k8rbtMcGC1kEhiptwuhEi iVwAnAr/T/27ID+qG9r97wPjN328A/Lx =vtD1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
