All, Tomcat 8 uses DBCP 2 which has changed the name of some configuration parameters, specifically maxActive->maxTotal and maxWait->maxWaitMillis. I have just fixed the JNDI DataSource examples to reflect that.
However, the documentation for Tomcat 6, 7, and 8 all point to DBCP's configuration page, which currently shows the DBCP 2 configuration which will not work on DBCP 1. That means we have a sync problem with the Tomcat 6 and 7 documentation. I was unable to find the configuration page for the "old" DBCP version on the DBCP site, otherwise I would have updated the documentation directly. Does anyone have any suggestions for how best to link from Tomcat's user guide to the DBCP configuration page in a sane way? Further, Tomcat 8 does not seem to complain when the maxActive and maxWait configuration attributes are used on a <Resource>. Is this because BasicDataSourceFactory implements a createDataSource(Properties) method which is used rather than creating a "blank" DataSource and then calling individual property setters on it (which would then fail as not being found)? -chris
