OpenJAX DBCP is a light wrapper around the Apache Commons DBCP library, which provides a simple API to describe and initialize a JDBC Database Connection Pool.

OpenJAX DBCP allows a developer to configure a Connection Pool with a standardized XML Schema, which is used by a consumer class to initiate the connection pool. dbcp uses the JAXB framework to significantly reduce the boilerplate code, thus providing a lean API with support for the all possible connection pool configuration variations.

OpenJAX DBCP is based on a XML Schema used to specify the formal of XML documents accepted by the configuration consumer. The XML Schema is designed to use the full power of XML Validation to allow a developer to qiuckly determine errors in his draft. Once a dbcp.xml passes the validation checks, it is almost guaranteed to properly initialize the Connection Pool configured by the file.

• Java 8 - The minimum required JDK version.
• Maven - The dependency management system.

1. Create a dbcp.xml in src/main/resources/.

   <dbcp id="example"
    xmlns="http://www.openjax.org/dbcp-1.2.xsd"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.openjax.org/dbcp-1.2.xsd http://www.openjax.org/dbcp.xsd">

1. Add org.openjax:dbcp dependency to the POM.

   <dependency>
     <groupId>org.openjax</groupId>
     <artifactId>dbcp</artifactId>
     <version>1.2.0</version>
   </dependency>

2. In the main() method in App.java, add the following line and let your IDE resolve the missing imports.

   DataSource dataSource = DataSources.createDataSource(ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().getResource("dbcp.xml"));

   The dataSource object is a reference to the initialized JDBC Connection Pool configured in dbcp.xml.
