I'm surprised Tomcat would care, and it doesn't really know anything about 
pooling, that's just a function of the data source. It's more likely to do 
with the pool configuration itself, I imagine.

I don't really know. I'm not clear what Tomcat's doing with it. Does 
Tomcat itself not start, or is it just the IdP not starting?
