Absolute bullsh*t.
The Turbine homepage *clearly* states:
"The point of Turbine is to collect that code into one location and make it
easy to create re-usable components (such as ParameterParsing, Database
Connection Pools, Job Scheduling, GlobalCaches, integration with other tools
such as Castor, Velocity, Webmacro, etc...) all under a license (Apache)
that allows you to create useful websites for your customers without
worrying about viral code. Turbine is not the end all answer, but it sure is
a nice way to make your development life easier."
The #2 item on the left side navigation on every single Turbine page is the
"features" document...
<http://java.apache.org/turbine/features.html>
"Singleton based Database Connection Pool (JDBC) with built in support for
all of the major databases"
I'm sorry, but I'm tired of people claiming ignorance when there is clear
documentation to the contrary. I'm also tired of other projects refusing to
work with Turbine when Turbine has clearly been the leader in this area for
over 2 years now.
I also want to point out that Connection pools are more than just Connection
pools, they also store information *about* the specific type of database
that you are connecting to such as what type of SQL must be used to retrieve
the last inserted id. This is something that Turbine depends on and I would
make as a requirement that these features are available.
Now, feel free to create yet another project to house this Connection
Pooling code, but I *refuse* to work with that project until I see others
doing so first.
thanks,
