[continuing the tangent] Not even that much, really. You can pass a pre-configured connection pool in through JNDI. I've begun doing this, using a Tomcat <Resource>definition and Tomcat 7's own pool instead of DBCP. So far it's working well. I hope that this will let me tune the parameters in dspace.cfg for the commandline tools, which probably want quite different settings. It also lets all the webapp.s share a single pool, which may let me economize somewhat on connections. However, some of the DSpace configuration is necessarily structured in ways that make it ugly and hard to understand when shoehorned into tabular form. We may want to think some more about how individual configuration items are persisted, and concentrate on revamping the consuming code to cope with runtime-mutable configuration and lack of any configuration, so that we can build UI to populate whatever persistence format(s) we think best for each. -- Mark H.
