Java JDBC connection pool library choice in 2011/2012?

Question

Which JDBC connection pool library should I use for a new application project (not web application)?

• Apache DBCP has enough unresolved issues which are pushed

Answer 1

Another alternative is Vibur DBCP. This is a new, concurrent JDBC connection pool based on Java dynamic proxies. It is fast, has concise source code, supports fairness parameter, JDBC Statement caching, long running SQL queries logging, and many other features.

Vibur DBCP is available in the central Maven repo, the website shows the needed Maven dependency, various configuration examples (with Spring, Hibernate 3.x/4.x/5.x), and all configuration options.

Vibur DBCP requires Java 1.7.
