Hello everybody,

I would like to know what are the most common solutions for connection pooling nowadays? Is there better support for this purpose integrated in hibernate 3.5 or should I still use a external conection pool like c3p0 or apache DBCP? I know there is also support for this in some application servers. But what about if I am using Tomcat. What should I do? Any recommendations?

Thank you.

As far as I'm informad, there are no new related to this issue in upcoming hibernate 3.5.
Anyway you still can use a external connection pool like c3p0 or apache DBCP if you work with tomcat.
In my project I also use tomcat and I'm using Hiberante3.5 CR2 with c3p0 pool.
I use c3p0 pool because since latest versions the pool is viewable/controllable via JMX (jconsole).

Thank you pb00067, this is the clear answer it helps.
