I was using BoneCP for my Java projects. But, unfortunately, I discovered that this pool is unable to recover after the database failure. I am not the only one with such problem (just look at the official forums if you want).
As I (and many others) never got answer on bonecp forums, it seems that this project is no longer supported and my issue is unlikely to be fixed.

So, I am looking for an alternative actively developed and supported connection pooling library which is able to handle database outages correctly and recover as soon as database is available again.

    The other major contenders are

    • C3P0 – also more or less abandoned, but very capable
    • Proxool – also abandoned
    • DBCP – abandoned for a long time, restarted.
    • HikariCP – new CP that even the BoneCP author concedes is faster
    • Vibur – modern pool, with metrics and slow query logging
    • Tomcat JDBC Pool – included with tomcat, but can be used standalone
