[Biojava-dev] JDBCConnectionPool

Hi everyone,

what is happening with JDBCConnectionPool? The last commit (by mrp in
November) says it might be deprecated soon and the docs says a standard
should be found soon.

The code for takeConnection() is a bit weird, because the code that
would check if we can reuse a connection is commented out, so a new
connection is created every time. It works, but it kinds of defeat the
purpose of the class.

I need to use connection pooling but I'm not sure if I'd be better to
try to fix that one or just use the Apache commons-dbcp
(http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/).

Francois
