Hi, Yes Connection pool is good because it gives a performance boost to your application ( because open connection / close connection is cpu and network intensive ) You dont have a to configure DBCP in tomcat. you can do that in your application as well. You can configure DBCP in struts-config.xml if you are using struts :o) Why to re invent a wheel ( which may be buggy ) when there are loads which are free and tested .. :o) Any other question feel free to ask ..

I have read a lot on the web that using a connection pool is very good. I just wondering why I should configure DBCP in tomcat? i think if i write the database connection in jsp pages(not in beans) I need configure DBCP in tomcat. if in the page I just call some JavaBeans to connect to database, i just need write a connection pool class in java. is that true? thanks -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
