Is it possible to use DBCP coneection pool mechanism in other web containers and application servers?
Of course! In fact, Jakarta Commons DBCP has pretty much nothing to do with Tomcat, except that it's another Jakarta project.
I dont want to use a proprietary connection pooling code and I dont want to use the existing code for some problems. I am not sure in which application server the application will be deployed.
Go for it.
I find that using the application server's DB setup and deployment tools is better because often the app server is configured by one person and the deployments are done by others. In that case, you don't have control over, say, specifying the global names of JNDI resources, etc. Also, most app servers some with their own (preferred?) DataSource implementations that wrap JDBC drivers.
