GeoServer devs, I noticed in the 2.7.1 war distro that it is using postgresql-8.4-701.jdbc3.jar. I plan on using GeoServer with the latest PostgreSQL 9.4/PostGIS 2.1 releases.
I found this discussion a few years back about the topic: http://sourceforge.net/p/geoserver/mailman/message/30164784/ Stating that the reason for using the 8.4 driver is backwards compatibility. But from what I understand, all Postgres JDBC drivers are backwards compatible <https://jdbc.postgresql.org/download.html#current>. My concern now is forward compatibility. So my question is what kind of test coverage does GeoServer have with regard to PostgreSQL 9.x / PostGIS 2.1 datastores? What would be your concerns about using an updated driver? I'm looking at configuring a connection pool using JNDI with Jetty 9.x and using the latest 9.4 jdbc driver. So I would probably remove the 8.4 driver from war libs to avoid conflicts. Thank you.
