DBCP is a connection pool made by Apache.  You need to download an
additional JAR to use it.  SIMPLE is built into iBATIS.

SimpleDataSource has served us very well over the years, with very few
changes.  I'd like to redo the interface at some point (currently
yucky property based config), but the implementation seems to work
well. It's a synchronous pool that doesn't spawn any threads for
reaping connections or anything like that.

Cheers,
Clinton
