I think "skimming" is the key word in the above, leading to misinterpretation of whatever you were reading. Connection pooling is pretty much a necessity in any real-world situation, but it should be handled by the app server, not individual webapps. Tomcat DBCP configuration is in the docs: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-datasource-examples-howto.h tml - Chuck P.S. JSPs are servlets, by the way.
