Where to find the public maven repository for Tomcat-JDBC Pool?

Question

i am trying to use the tomcat jdbc-pool in my application but it seems that i cannot find a repository that provides this dependency. Any clue in which repository i can find the latest release that can be used in a Maven build?

Answer 1

Here is the correct dependency information for the Tomcat JDBC Pool.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId>
    <artifactId>tomcat-jdbc</artifactId>
    <version>7.0.19</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

If you are deploying to Tomcat the required JARs are bundled with the Tomcat servlet container, you don't have to (and shouldn't ) include them in your WAR file.

Instead you should define the JDBC connection pool in Tomcat itself and then simply reference it in your application using JNDI.
