Hi Geir,
I was (mostly) away from mail for some days.
I still think you are right about this stuff being application specific,
but a contribution pool would be nice.
This component sure can be useful to many, but some app specific issues
go against placing it in the Velocity jar:
- many people do not use Datasources and use other DB Connection pooling
mechanisms (e.g.: the one in Turbine);
- There are other ways of storing and retrieving data into/from a
database that are not covered by this component. As you wrote before,
it is impossible to do something really genereic on this domain.
So, I think it should not be part of the Velocity jar, but it sure should
be stored and evolved somewhere in the project scope. Utilities like this
can always help to a faster start.
Have fun,
Paulo
