[DBCP] The org.apache.commons.dbcp.managed classes

["Spies, Brennan" <Br...@ejgallo.com>]

All,

I've been using the org.apache.commons.dbcp.managed classes for implementing
my own XA-capable datasources, and it has been working pretty well (with some
minor modifications).

There is one small problem with the classes in the existing state: the
BasicManagedDataSource class takes the name of the XADataSource as a string,
then instantiates it using a newInstance() on the class in the
createConnectionFactory() method--without setting any other properties; this
fails in many cases since many XADataSources need properties set before they
can function. In my particular case, I've simply added a setProperty(String
name, Object value) method to BasicManagedDataSource, and I set these on the
newly instantiated XADataSource using BeanUtils.copyProperty(...). Another
solution might be creating a XADataSourceFactory interface with a
createXADataSource() method that would just return a fully-populated
XADataSource. This would be just a standard JavaBean property on
BasicManagedDataSource.

FYI,

Yes, DBCP is supposed to be a general purpose connection pool.

I am +1 for getting these classes into a 1.3 DBCP release.  If someone
else wants to step up to put together a release plan and RM a 1.3
release including these classes , I will be happy to help.  I would
also do the RM work myself, but it will take me a little while, since
I am am backed up at the moment with pool 1.4 and math 1.2.
