FW: Commons DB and DBCP question

[Vipul Sagare <vs...@hotels.com>]

As the DBCP and Commons DB are independent but may be duplicating the efforts,  which one should be viewed as good option for long term?

DBCP uses JOCL.  Is DBCP updated for Digester release? (DBCP documentation say JOCL will be replaced by Digester).

Thanks

DBCP is a component of the Jakarta Commons subproject
(http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/), which is in turn a
part of the Jakarta project (http://jakarta.apache.org/) that provides a
database connection pooling subsystem.  It lives at
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp and is discussed on the
commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org and commons-user@jakarta.apache.org mailing
lists.

"DB Commons", or http://db.apache.org/commons/ is a subproject of the DB
project (http://db.apache.org/), and is an attempt to recreate some of the
success of the Jakarta Commons subproject in a language independent and
database focused way.

The Jakarta Commons DBCP component may move to the DB Commons subproject,
but it hasn't yet.  The two things are currently independent.
