I'm positive no one would oppose you contributing and working on it ;) >- Allow the pool to optionally close a connection on a SQL exception >(since that will often corrupt the transaction and/or indicate the >connection is boofed). >- Change some default values so it doesn't block indefinitely to open a >connection out of the box. >- Maybe support a connection factory constructor that can take a String >for a driver name, rather than require you to do Class.forName() >separately. >- Maybe implement login timeout. >- Maybe implement logging via commons logging so you can catch events >rather than just use a writer. >- Make a formal new release (either 1.1 or 2.0, I don't care), just so >the examples, test code, and javadoc (in distro and website) all have >working examples. The above ideas all seem cool to various degrees. I dislike the commons-logging one, as that may cause some problems for people using DBCP who don't want to use commons-logging. But testing can iron that out and I don't think it'll be a showstopper ultimately. >Any feedback on these changes, or people I should talk to before heading >down this road? You already have the above list; I would start by entering them as DBCP enhancement requests in bugzilla. Then start working them and send in patches to the mailing list (appropriately marking the subject lines, i.e. [DBCP][PATCH]). The committers will comment...
