Bug ID: 56970
Summary: MaxActive vs. MaxTotal for commons-dbcp and
tomcat-jdbc-pool in tomcat 8
Product: Tomcat 8
Version: trunk
Hardware: PC
OS: Mac OS X 10.4
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: ***@tomcat.apache.org
Reporter: ***@cerner.com

http://tomcat.apache.org/migration-8.html#Database_Connection_Pooling

Documents: The maxActive configuration option has been renamed to maxTotal

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.0-doc/jdbc-pool.html

Documents: (int) The maximum number of active connections that can be allocated
from this pool at the same time. The default value is 100

There is no mention of maxTotal, and observation (via JMX) appears as though
the default is 8 , not 100.

The above documentation talks about DBCP pool.

The above documentation page is about JDBC pool.


The "Common Attributes" table on JDBC pool page can be improved. It talks about
comparing the tomcat-jdbc pool with commons-dbcp, but Tomcat 8 is bundled with
commons-dbcp2.
