The Java list - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - would probaby be more appropriate

You are missing something, I am afraid. To quite Sun's Javadoc for the
PooledConnection class
"An object that provides hooks for connection pool management.
A PooledConnection object represents a physical connection to
a data source. The connection can be recycled rather than being
closed when an application is finished with it, thus reducing
the number of connections that need to be made.
An application programmer does not use the PooledConnection
interface directly; rather, it is used by a middle tier
infrastructure that manages the pooling of connections."
You need to obtain or write a Pool Manager. Application code then
calls PoolManager.getConnection () instead of creating a new connection,
but otherwise runs unchanged. When the application calls Connection.close(,
the PoolManager is informed and can take appropriate recycling
action (releasing any resultsets, adding to a pool of available
connections, deleting long-unused connections before MySQL gets
bored of them.... ).
