DBCP

Hey Timothy. Are you really willing to work on a facility for DBCP?

No argument here.  A technology doesn't have to be solid to achieve 
widespread acceptance.  I was merely expressing surprise that 
technologies like Struts and Tomcat that are enjoying widespread 
production deployment is using and promoting DBCP as it's connection 
pooling plug-in considering the case that has made against it technically.

Yeah, I saw that.  Ok... Let's talk about a production-quality 
connection pooling technology for Avalon then.  Something that can 
support high volume and user loads.  What what be your strategy for 
building such a facility?  Would you propose to borrow the code from 
Geronimo's JCA implementation and port it as some kind of Merlin 
facility, or use some different technology?

Dude, there are people who actually use Maven, Struts, AspectJ and other
terrible injuries to the IT world. :-)

DBCP is not good for a real production application. I tried to talk about it
in the commons-list and asked about interest to work on a JCA implementation
to Jakarta commons, but the discussion got lost. Btw the commons mail list
is too fuss.

That's some pretty bad press for DBCP. Curious, since Struts, Tomcat, 
and Hibernate are all using DBCP in some form or another...
