That's some pretty bad press for DBCP. Curious, since Struts, Tomcat, and Hibernate are all using DBCP in some form or another...
Dude, there are people who actually use Maven, Struts, AspectJ and other terrible injuries to the IT world. :-)
No argument here. A technology doesn't have to be solid to achieve widespread acceptance. I was merely expressing surprise that technologies like Struts and Tomcat that are enjoying widespread production deployment is using and promoting DBCP as it's connection pooling plug-in considering the case that has made against it technically.
DBCP is not good for a real production application. I tried to talk about it in the commons-list and asked about interest to work on a JCA implementation to Jakarta commons, but the discussion got lost.
Yeah, I saw that. Ok... Let's talk about a production-quality connection pooling technology for Avalon then. Something that can support high volume and user loads. What what be your strategy for building such a facility? Would you propose to borrow the code from Geronimo's JCA implementation and port it as some kind of Merlin facility, or use some different technology?
