Re: JDBC Connection Pool Theory ??

[Jeff Miller]

I am currently working on a research project involving comparing the various methods 
and approaches to database connection pooling - my website has a few links to some 
vendor's sites and some technical articles you may find useful.  

You can get to it at http://www2.gvsu.edu/~millerjr/ 

Hope this helps

        Can anyone suggest or point to readings on JDBC connection pool theory?
Something that covers how a pool is implemented, best case / worst case
scenarios, tips and traps.

        My next web application is looking to be very database (mysql) intensive.
I would like a pooling mechanism that is VERY simple to use, VERY light, low
overhead, and portable.  Having looked at packages such as poolman, I
decided I need to learn a bit more about JDBC and pooling in general.  Any
thoughts ?
