I have an ongoing difficulty grasping the technical implementation details of connection pooling. I have read quite a few of related articles such as this one and this one, but still not 100% clear. Is connection pooling tied to tomcat, mysql, or the other development frameworks (struts2, spring, hibernate)? I mean do each of these frameworks require special handling to work with cp, or do I implement once and I am good to go using whatever framework I want?
Is there a straightforward example that involves connection pooling with the all the above frameworks?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards Dim
The trend in connection pooling for a long time has been that most frameworks who need/use this tend to to it straight out of the box, or at least it's usually included in the basic set-up guides. Every framework there is does not need to do connection pooling, for instance I do not believe struts2 does any, and spring-core does not. I'd certainly believe the spring dataaccess-stuff does, and it's probably documented in the basic setup guidelines if you do dataacess via spring.
