This dosent seem to be my problem since the evictor threads runs every 30
mins (default) and evicts 3 connections. The condition in my case is
connections are created in large chunks (30+) rather than incrementally.
Below are my connection parameters  - 

        <property name="initialSize" value="2" />
        <property name="poolPreparedStatements" value="true" />
        <property name="maxOpenPreparedStatements" value="3" />
        <property name="minIdle" value="2" />
        <property name="maxIdle" value="-1" />
        <property name="maxActive" value="200" />
        <property name="testWhileIdle" value="true" />
        <property name="testOnBorrow" value="false" />     
        <property name="timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis" value="1800000" />
        <property name="validationQuery"
            value="select 1 from sysibm/sysdummy1 for read only" />

Tomcat and SpringJDBC is used. After tracing with log statements, it seems
to be like borrowObject() on GenericPoolObject is making all the
connections.  From the last run, the connection were added in batches  
Initial size - 2 (bfore test started)
Increased number of connections - 29 (~2 mins into the test)
Increased number of connections - 151 (~10 mins into the test).

This test is run on IBM AIX JDK version 1.5.X.

Any help is appreciated,

Ravi
