DbCon provides a simple interface to DBCP, offers distributed pooling configuration and provides a clean layer of separation between Java code and SQL. The project aims to provide:

• ConnectionPooling (via DBCP)
• SingletonConnectionPools (connection pools with only one connection)
• DataSources backed by the same connection pools
• SqlLibrary for SQL storage available both in a custom format and SqlLibXmlFormat
• ObjectFacades
• Corrects for the OracleMetadata foibles
• PasswordObfuscation
