Issues with DBCP on Gentoo

Gentoo

I ran into the some problems a while back when setting up connection pooling on Tomcat on Gentoo. It turned out that this was a known issue to Gentoo when using the Gentoo packages.

To remedy this, I had to do:

# cd /usr/share/tomcat-6/lib
# ln -s /usr/share/commons-dbcp/lib/commons-dbcp.jar

And override the data source factory in the Resource definitions in my server.xml:

factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"

instead of the default:

org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory
