[PROPOSAL] Remove tomcat-jdbc from Tomcat 9 onwards
A connection pooling question on the users list prompted me to write a
short history [1] of Tomcat's connection pooling with respect to DBCP 1,
DBCP 2 and tomcat-jdbc. That got me thinking.
Given the current situation:
- DBCP 2 is stable
- The Commons community is supporting DBCP 2
- tomcat-jdbc is stable
- support for tomcat-jdbc is sporadic at best
- DBCP 2 performance is very close to that of tomcat-jdbc (to
be clear, tomcat-jdbc still has better performance)
I'd like to propose that we do not ship tomcat-jdbc with Tomcat 9
onwards (i.e. remove it from trunk/modules).
There are some features in tomcat-jdbc that are not available in Commons
DBCP 2. This proposal includes porting those features to DBCP 2 if there
is user demand for them.
Thoughts?
Mark

+1
If there is enough community interest in tomcat-jdbc, it can be released
as a separate project. If there is not enough community interest...
well, then, by definition it doesn't really fit The Apache Way.
