Slightly off topic I guess, but you are using BasicDataSourceFactory  with
Tomcat, then I am guessing you are using 4.0.3?  The non released version?
I want to use BasicDataSourceFactory from a single location, because in my
application I have three dang pools, because I don't have JNDI setup, they
can't find each others pools.

I have Torque decoupled with it's own pool, I have Turbine 2.1 with it's own
pool, and My other tomcat based webapp dbForms using it's own pool!  It
would be great if I could either get the pool from JNDI (if everyone
supported it) or Tomcat...!

+1 for removing references to DBConnection class.

What's important isn't eliminating the DBConnection class, but eliminating
references to it.  If DBConnection implemented javax.sql.Connection, then
explicit references to DBConnection would be unnecessary.

Probably because Torque (and turbine) predates commons DBCP.  I like DBCP
and use BasicDataSourceFactory with Tomcat, and have good experiences with
it except for it not closing statements when you call Connection.close().
that was an easy patch, though. :-)
