Noga,

Sure, but it's not required, and generally the JBoss folks seem to
prefer using driver-based dispensers for connections with their
connection pool implementation since they already have classes that map
SQLExceptions to errors that can determine whether or not a connection
is stale (which is basically one of the major features of a
ConnectionPoolDataSource).

Remember, ConnectionPoolDataSources are _not_ connection pools. They
provide connections to some implementation of a connection pool.

See my answer to #1.

You should never refer to concrete implementations of any of the JDBC
APIs in your container-managed code such as EJBs. You always code to the
interface, i.e. javax.sql.DataSource. Otherwise your code won't be
portable to other JDBC implementations.

Depends on the connection pool and how it's configured. Generally the
logical session is terminated by the container, eventually the
connection pool will terminate the physical session if some idle timeout
value is reached, or if the physical session has been determined to be
stale.
