Hi Vikramjit: Here's an opinion of a non-guru: Create the pool in the init() as your colleague suggests. But declare and get the connection in the doPost/doGet methods. I believe this way you will both get the advantage of the pool as well as not have to worry about threading issues.
Regards, Geeta P.S. Search under "Connection pool" in the archives (link below): this topic has been covered many times and by real gurus too!
