This workaround sounds so simple that there must be something wrong with
it :-), but how about this: in the startup logic of your application,
just create a loop that requests the appropriate number of instances of
your connection object (without returning them), followed by returning
them all. That way, the pool will have the preconfigured instances
available by the time your application actually starts using them.
