connection#isValid()

                 Key: DBCP-357
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-357
             Project: Commons Dbcp
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 1.4, 1.4.1
            Reporter: Philippe Mouawad


Hello,
Current method of connection validation relies on validationQuery.
This method has a rather big performance impact on the DB (CPU, for example 3% 
with SELECT 1 FROM DUAL even with Oracle 10G FAST DUAL) and make an additional 
query for each borrow (when testOnBorrow is true).
Wouldn't it be better to use new JDBC 4 method isValid which relies on Driver 
check ? (Oracle would for example use its internal method ping)

Thank you
Philippe
