May I recommend you consider tomcat-jdbc [1]. The simplicity of the
code is refreshing, particularly compared to
commons-dbcp/commons-pool. I've used it in a couple apps now and have
been pleased with performance. I should note that it can be used
independently of Tomcat; in fact we use it on Jetty with no hassles
whatever.
