I wouldn't really count on that. Just use a recent dbcp and configure it
yourself. Tomcat never did pooling before, and I wouldn't trust them to
keep doing it. I don't even think they *should*; it makes no sense to
override the deployer's explicit choice of DataSource because they think
they know better. In fact, they don't, because a default pool is not
useful.
