Best recommendation for DataSource / Connection Pooling

["Curwen, Michael" <mi...@qunara.com>]

Hi everyone,

Before you admonish me to search the archives, I've done so, and I've seen a few posts on tyrex/commons.  

When I read the documentation for TC4.1.10, http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-tomcat-4.0/release/v4.1.10/RELEASE-NOTES I see that Tyrex has been upgraded to 1.0
 
Well.. where is it?  Ah... according to other documentation, http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.html I need to download up to 6 jars.  

That doesn't seem right.  I think the RELEASE-NOTES should be reflective of what's actually in the distribution. (the windows installer exe in case there's a difference).
 
Adding to my woes, is that I've never done JNDI DataSource or Connection Pooling with Tomcat before. What I'm *actually* trying to do is deploy the JIRA package (http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira), in case anyone has experience with this package.  It uses XADataSources, so I need to get this working in Tomcat.
 
Can someone point out the latest thinking on what package (commons or Tyrex) I should be expending my efforts on?  Hopefully my JIRA package will not care who gives it the DataSource (that's the point of J2EE, right?), as long as it gets one, either from Tyrex or commons.
