Re: Database connection pooling

[Dave Smith <sa...@home.com>]

The bitmechanic connection pool is excellent. Easy to use
and free, opensource.

What more does anyone want?

We are currently using Bitmechanic JDBC Pool, and is very - really very -
stable (with MSSQL FreeTDS driver and Oracle driver).
And best: is free.

Specifying CLASSPATH in web.xml

[David Miller <dm...@smart911.com>]

I am trying to figure out if there is a way of specifying a part of my
CLASSPATH from within the web.xml file.  I have some configuration files used
by one of my webapps (that need to be in the CLASSPATH) and would love to find
a way of having tomcat figure this out automatically.

Thanks for your help and/or suggestions!
