----------------------------
> Add a way to set an instance of java.sql.Driver directly on
> org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: DBCP-402
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-402
> Project: Commons Dbcp
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0
> Reporter: Ben Hale
> Fix For: 2.0
>
>
> Currently when org.apache.commons.dbcp2.BasicDataSource is directly
> instantiated (e.g. in an IoC environment), the only way to set the type of
> java.sql.Driver that is should use is by passing in a String classname which
> is then passed to DriverManager. The downside to this is that it requires
> the DataSource and the Driver to be in the same classloader. In practice
> many times the Driver is in the application classloader while the DataSource
> is in the container classloader meaning that other than packaging a Tomcat
> JAR in your application you cannot use the DataSource directly.
> It'd be great to have a way to pass the actual instance of Driver to the
> DataSource and have it use that instead of going to DriverManager to find it.
> This would enable standard classloader inheritance to work properly and
> allow the non-adjacent packaging of the Driver and DataSource.
> An example of this style of configuration can be found in Spring's
> SimpleDriverDataSource[1].
