minIdle Functionality for DBCP via Patches Posted for commons-pool

           Summary: minIdle Functionality for DBCP via Patches Posted for
                    commons-pool
           Product: Commons
           Version: Nightly Builds
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Dbcp
        AssignedTo: commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: wareing@rewc.com


Here are the required patches to expose the minIdle functionality implemented 
in commons-pool (see bug #22597: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?
id=22597).  Currently tested and in use with Tomcat 4.1.24.

What it will do is maintain a minimum level of idle connections in your pool 
such that if your database goes down for some reason the same thread used for 
evicting stale connections will recreate new connections once the database 
comes back up.

Note: You will have to activate the evictor thread initially for this to work.  
Simply opening and closing a connection related to the DBCP instance in 
question will accomplish this.

Patches for commons-dbcp (nightly build on Aug. 14th, 2003) will be attached.
