Please read the doc: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.h tml It explicitly states: "There is one problem with connection pooling. A web application has to explicetely [sic] close ResultSet's, Statement's, and Connection's. Failure of a web application to close these resources can result in them never being available again for reuse, a db connection pool 'leak'. This can eventually result in your web application db connections failing if there are no more available connections." - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
