title: Tomcat 8 - Connection pool configuration
body: <p>I'm currently migrating an app from Tomcat 7. I've gone through the <a href="https://tomcat.apache.org/migration-8.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">migration guide</a> and updated the properties that have been changed in Tomcat 8 (DBCP 2). However, on starting the app, the following error is displayed. Does anyone know if the property <strong>description</strong> has been replaced with a new name? I could not find any documentation for this.</p>
  
  <pre><code>INFO [main] org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp2.BasicDataSourceFactory.getObjectInstance Name = MyApp-Pool Ignoring unknown property: value of "MyApp Pool DataSource" for "description" property
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Configuration:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Context&gt;
      &lt;Resource name="jdbc/MyApp-Pool" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" description="MyApp Pool DataSource"
                username="testuser" password="test" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"....... /&gt;           
  &lt;/Context&gt;
  </code></pre>
