> I have an application that will be configured to use a JDBC driver at run time.  It would be helpful if I could set the ClassLoader that BasicDataSource uses to load the JDBC driver.  
> I don't know what the procedure is for submitting improvements, but this is something that I could add myself. the code would look like this:
> private ClassLoader driverLoader = getClass().getClassLoader();
> ...
> public ClassLoader getDriverLoader() {
>     return driverLoader();
> }
> public void setDriverLoader(ClassLoader newValue) {
>     driverLoader = newValue;
> }
> ...
> Change the statement that in createDataSource from
>     Class.forName(driverClassName);
> to be
>     Class.forName(driverClassName, true, driverLoader);
