Share database connection pool with Tomcat

I have some regular Tomcat database connection pooling setup with DBCP
for some servlets that are not iBatis related (reports running direct
SQL).

Is it possible to share that database pool with the one defined in
iBatis?  Seems counter-productive to define two database pools.  Or
maybe iBatis/Tomcat is smart enough to only have one pool?

Of course - if it's a JNDI data source you can tell iBATIS to use that
- it's in the user guide and the book.
