DBCP Configuration

This information is outdated

DBCP is an Apache project providing free and open source javax.sql.DataSource and javax.sql.ConnectionPoolDataSource implementation, that can be used with different JDBC drivers. This page contains sample configuration for DBCP with Tomcat 5.0.x.

Sample configuration:

  <Context path="/dbTest" docBase="dbTest" 
           debug="5" reloadable="true" crossContext="true">
 
    <Logger className="org.apache.catalina.logger.FileLogger"
             prefix="dbTest." suffix=".txt" timestamp="true"/>
 
    <Resource name="jdbc/dbTestOld1" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource"/>
 
    <ResourceParams name="jdbc/dbTest">
      <parameter>
        <name>factory</name>
        <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value>  
      </parameter>
      <parameter>
        <name>removeAbandoned</name>

      </parameter>
      <parameter>
        <name>logAbandoned</name>
        <value>true</value>
      </parameter>
