I am personally using DBCP with both MySQL and PostgreSQL under Tomcat 4.1.18 right now without any problems. Because it works in my installation implies that perhaps the cause of [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s problems has not yet been sufficiently isolated to assign blame to Tomcat. Where people are experiencing problems deploying a JDBC data source under JNDI, it is common to discover that they were working without a checklist and inadvertently leave out a step or perhaps complete a step incorrectly.
As for the bug report that is sitting in Bugzilla, it is still marked as NEW (that is the same as saying "as yet unconfirmed"). The description provided by [EMAIL PROTECTED] includes merely an excerpt from his/her server.xml file. The absolute first thing that I would want to see would be the rest of his/her server.xml--including the glaring omission of a <Resource> declaration from the excerpt. Then I would want confirmation that all relevant JAR files are in the appropriate server/lib or common/lib locations. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered before jumping on the FUD bandwagon.
