Actually, the recommended way is to use JNDI to accquire a data source from the
container. Most container supports it.

The one included is not the same as what is in RC1, though, correct? I'm
just trying to figure out exactly what is changed and what I need to start
experimenting with...

If you tie your app to your coontainer, then it's not very portable, no? I
can develop in Tomcat and publish to JRun with no problems, and I like to
maintain that :)
I suppose for now a good plan would be to use GenericDataSource and research
more reliable and portable options for conn pooling in the future? Perhaps
by then DBCP will be cleaned up and a good stand-alone alternative.
