[Geotools-devel] Upgrading commons-pool dependency to 1.5.3?

[Andrea A. <aa...@op...>]

Hi,
running the benchmarks for FOSS4G I often got into
connection pool deadlock situations which prevented
to even complete the tests.

Looking into the problem I've found a number of potential
deadlock reported against the DBCP Jira, most of which
are solved but only in SNAPSHOT versions of DBCP 1.3
(which I don't get high hopes of seeing released any
  time soon, people started asking "when will 1.3 be
  released?" in 2007...)

However a good part of them are actually due to issues
in the commons-pool dependency, which has been updated
and released (thankfully, without breaking binary compatibility)
a number of times during the last years.

I've found that using the current stable DBCP against
pools 1.5.3 made the deadlocks vanish.

Soo... ok to upgrade? :-)

Cheers
Andrea
