Tomcat 4.1.12 and DBCP

[ec...@TXU.COM]

Hello:

I just recently downloaded version 4.1.12 to start looking at upgrade route
from version 4.0.4
An issue that I have come across is how the DBCP is working along with
JNDI.

Since the web applications we create here require login verification to an
Oracle database, we used a override the default user name and password that
setup in the server.xml file with what the user entered in. This worked
just fine with version 4.0.4
(See example)

      InitialContext jndiCntx = new InitialContext();
      DataSource ds = (DataSource) jndiCntx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/" +
database.toUpperCase());
      conn = ds.getConnection(user, password);

Now, with version 4.1.12, I always receive and error when trying to
override the default user name and password:

      java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
             at
org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolingDataSource.getConnection(PoolingDataSource.java:125)

             at
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource.getConnection(BasicDataSource.java:329)

             at org.apache.jsp.test_jsp._jspService(test_jsp.java:56)
             at
org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:136)
             at
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)

If I use the defaults supplied in the server.xml file, it works without a
problem. (See example)

      InitialContext jndiCntx = new InitialContext();
      DataSource ds = (DataSource) jndiCntx.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/" +
database.toUpperCase());
      conn = ds.getConnection();

This is an error with Tomcat? I do not believe so since the error is being
generated from the Apache Commons
DBCP library. So, is this an error or correct execution of the given code?
Would I need to inquire with the
Tomcat group or the Commons group?

I am new to the mailing lists of Apache, so any direction anyone can give
me would be great.

Thanks,
Ej Chambers
