We need CommonDataSource's getParentLogger() method to be implemented for java7 support.
Created attachment 28183 [details] DataSourceProxy patch
This patch would break the 1.5 compatibility for the jdbc-pool as the class SQLFeatureNotSupportedException is not available in 1.5 http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/sql/SQLFeatureNotSupportedException.html
FWIW, Java 5 reached its end-of-life in Oct 2009.

(In reply to comment #3) > FWIW, Java 5 reached its end-of-life in Oct 2009. Pretty much irrelevant, since the reality is that many sites are still using Java 5, and support for Java 5 is available to anyone willing to pay.
Why people using so old Java need latest tomcat? :( Maybe if they enjoy paying for java support we can provide them some special (un)patched version for some donations? :)
