DESCRIPTION
Pool is the Commons component that deals with managing object pools in a generic manner. DBCP is one such implementation that showcases the best of this component for managing database connection objects. Using Pool is easy, because of its API which is designed for extension and interoperability. This ease of operation makes it easy to create object pools like DBCP, which however, still require factory classes for creating and managing the objects that it maintains (Database Connections).
This module shows in one concise collection, the best way to use Pool and DBCP components. Because DBCP is built on Pool, Pool is covered first and simple pools are created to highlight the best way to create your own object pools. A small commentary on the need for object pools is also included which has a comparison of object pools and garbage collectors. The DBCP part of the module shows you how to use this component to create the best connection pools, including several specialized DBCP pool implementations. It also shows you how to use a JOCL file, and how to configure your application servers.
