Eric Thanks for response. I wrote a follow up that explained my work around. But to your points, in using commons-dbcp and specifying the initial pool size of 5, you'd think that it would fire up the pool on application start but it doesnt. In code, you have to request a connection from the JNDI resource in order for the pool to be created.

I'm not sure whether by "instantiated" you mean the pool class or the connection class. If it's the former, I'm not sure of the answer, but I would assume that the pool class typically is instantiated at server startup. If not, wouldn't the JNDI lookup fail? If it's the latter, I think specifying the minimum connection count property (> 0) in your datasource config should cause the pool to be primed right after startup. But, it's up to the pool implementation of course. But the minimum connection count is supposed to keep the pool from going dry.
