Thanks for replying Rick, I may have run up against a gap in my java knowledge, but I don't understand your answer. I guess I don't see how javax.sql.DataSource can get (and return) connections from the pool. It doesn't seem like it would have the ability to do that. Isn't BasicDataSource just an implementation of DataSource? Is DBCP pooling DataSources?? Am I completely clueless here? Also, since the driver is being called from the resource factory (using BasicDataSourceFactory), I'm not sure I understand why using BasicDataSource to get connections would affect the driver at all?
