Bug Description

The default DataSource factory in tomcat 7 (and previously in tomcat6) is org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory. This is contained in a jar file which the Debian maintainers don't distribute. The same problem also affected tomcat6:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat6/+bug/283852

Tomcat 7 now includes another connection pool implementation which can be used instead, but it isn't default.

org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.DataSourceFactory

A sufficient fix would be to change the default factory to this (it is already included in the current distribution).

Ubuntu version: 12.10

tomcat7: 7.0.30-0ubuntu1

Interestingly org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory is not present in the upstream source code; so this actually feels like an upstream bug as well.

This sounds like a sensible change.
