Hi, After some painful research and code digging, I found that in commons-pool versions > 1.2 (ie 1.3 and 1.4), the logic for maxActive changed for "unlimited". 0 no longer means unlimited as it did in 1.2 and previous versions. This looks to be contradictory to commons-pool and tomcat documentation however (e.g. http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html ). This seems to effect tomcat versions 5.5.24-26. Are there plans to update said documentation, or is this an issue with commons-pool?
Thanks, Will
