Hi, I have the same need with Informix db on Servicemix environmemt.
I chose DBCP because an OSGi version was available: org.apache.servicemix.bundles org.apache.servicemix.bundles.commons-dbcp 1.4_2 It worked nicely until now with a ConnectionFactory service.. And should work not only on Servicemix.. Maybe your problem is only linked to the dbcp library which was not designed to work on an OSGi environment.

Sven's example sounds more elegant and robust for a larger scenario, but it's pushing the boundaries of my current skill level. i'll revisit once i've learned more. ~ Reuben On Thu, Mar 29, 2012 at 12:02, raad <ya...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Reuben, I chose your method and it worked fine.
