For those scoring at home, I'm going to try managing pool-per-user myself for the potential jmx gain and as I said, two will be amazing success.

Perhaps I read too much into the description of "The tomcat JDBC Connection Pool" page?

TheJDBC Connection Pool|org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool|is a replacement or an alternative to theApache Commons DBCP <https://commons.apache.org/dbcp/>connection pool.

I reacted to the "replacement" bit. Are both equally sound, supported, surviving?

Yes.  I can't speak for jdbc-pool, but it looks like it is being actively maintained.

We really need to change the language on that page. It should really say something like "Back in the day, the Tomcat team (in retrospect) overreacted to the limitations of DBCP and decided to build a new high-performance pool. These days, the newer DBCP2 is great, and jdbc-pool also exists. They are two reasonably equivalent ways to solve the same problem. The default is DBCP and it's fine. Switching to jdbc-pool is also fine; it does have a few minor features that you can't (currently) get from jdbc-pool, and you will know right away if you actually need them."

The tomcat website text has never been updated to reflect this.

Sorry about that. The current text says "Note that this does not apply to Commons DBCP 2.x." in a few places. It's obviously very partisan when it doesn't need to be.
