If you are OK with Minerva you could keep it for now and wait a move to Atomikos https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5129, jumping above DBCP I don't remember new features brought by DBCP over Minerva. Maybe there were better performances or capabilities, but actually I don't know any available comparisons. Some minor features were dropped when switching to DBCP http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ofbiz/trunk/framework/entity/dtd/entity-config.xsd?r1=1482911&r2=1482910&pathrev=1482911 Minerva was mostly replaced by DBCP because the Minerva version OFBiz used was patched by the OFBiz team and the Minerva team never integrated these patches. Both Minerva and DBCP are nowaydays not maintained, or, for DBCP, not for a long moment at least.
