Commons is close to the next DBCP release. I have been looking at this and there will, unfortunately, still be some Java 5 with JDBC 3 / Java 6 with JDBC 4 issues. It isn't possible to work around them without a complete refactoring and/or multiple JARs and/or use of something like BCEL.
Rather than introduce any of this complexity, I recommend the following approach. Continue to ship Tomcat 6 with Java 5 built JDBC 3 support Ship Tomcat 7 with Java 6 built JDBC 4 support For the rare occasions where folks using Tomcat 6 want JDBC 4 support (from the lack of posts on this topic on the users list I don't think there are that many of them) they can grab the dbcp jar from Tomcat 7 and use that instead.
