Implement Connection pooling in JDBC using apache dbcp [duplicate]

Answer 1

I would not recommend this approach. You are basically creating a connection and hanging on it it. I'm not in love with your pattern, but something like this would be better:

public class DataTransaction {
   private final static BasicDataSource dataSource;

   static {
      dataSource = new BasicDataSource();
      dataSource.setDriverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
      dataSource.setUrl("jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/registrationtest");
      dataSource.setUsername("root");
      dataSource.setPassword("root");
      dataSource.setMaxActive(100);
      dataSource.setMaxWait(10000);
      dataSource.setMaxIdle(10);
   }

   private DataTransaction() {
   }

   public static DataSource getDataSource() {
      return dataSource;
   }
}

Further, I would not hardcode any of the DataSource parameters, but rather initialize the DataSource from a properties file.
