title: Tomcat connection pooling with prepared statement cache
body: <p>Having upgraded from DBCP connection pooling to Tomcat's own implementation (based on the excellent comparison <a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jdbc-pool.html#Introduction" rel="nofollow">here</a>); I'm a little confused as to why they've dropped these 2 properties, while keeping everything else:</p>
  
  <pre><code>poolPreparedStatements="true"
  maxOpenPreparedStatements="10000"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does this mean that prepared statement pooling is not supported in this implementation? And does each connection maintain its own pool of prepared statements by default?</p>
  
  <p>I've spent a considerable time researching this and have found no clear answer!</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your time.</p>
