Connection pooling options with JDBC: DBCP vs C3P0 [closed]

What is the best connection pooling library available for Java/JDBC?

I’m considering the 2 main candidates (free / open-source):

  • Apache DBCP – http://commons.apache.org/dbcp/
  • C3P0 – http://sourceforge.net/projects/c3p0

I’ve read a lot about them in blogs and other forums but could not reach a decision.

Are there any relevant alternatives to these two?
