Yes, I know I could do things with connection pooling, but I want different
users logged in as their real user ids, not using a dummy user everyone
uses.
Is it a good idea to tie a cookie with a life time of -1, set to the session
id and when the browser process is terminated (no ambiguity!), the session
associated with the cookie would be invalidated?

Wrong. Sessions are expired by the servlet engine or when
you close them.
How does the servlet engine know that you have closed your
browser?
Also, why are you trying to store a database connection in a
session? That
is crazy. ;-) Use a connection pool instead. I have one
implemented in Dash
that is quite cool cause it uses the Singleton methods to
cache
connections...
