Hi Gaurav,

I don't know which version you use, so all comments
made for current version 0.9.8

Not correct, the PB instance obtain a connection when
PB.beginTransaction()
was called.

Not correct, the connection was closed when PB.commitTransaction()
or PB.abortTransaction() was called.

All connection pooling was done by OJB.
There was a PB pool, pooling
the PB instances (see OJB.properties file section
PersistenceBrokerFactory pool) and there were several
implementations of ConnectionFactory in a position to do
connection pooling (see OJB.properties file section
'ConnectionFactory / Default ConnectionPool' for more information.

When your application has it's own connection pooling mechanism, there
are two ways to use this:

1. When your pool supports Datasources/JNDI, declare OJB to obtain
connections via JNDI lookup. None of the OJB ConnectionFactory
implementations does pool Datasource.
Your jdbc-connection-descriptor looks like that
<jdbc-connection-descriptor
     platform="Hsqldb"
     jdbc-level="2.0"
     jndi-datasource-name="java:DefaultDS"
     username="sa"
     password=""
  />

2. If your application does not support Datasources/JNDI
you have to write your own implementation of
ConnectionFactory to support your specific connection pool.

By the way OJB was shipped with a DBCP-ConnectionFactory
implementation.
