You need to do this because it's multi-tenant (per below) and each tenant may require different settings? >>> 2. alternateUserNameAllowed property >>> >>> - If a connection is requested with the credentials user1/password1 and >> the >>> connection was previously connected using user2/password2, the connection >>> will be closed, and reopened with the requested credentials.

The pool returns members at random, so how would you know which cached credentials you were getting? If the pool kept all of the connections open with different credentials how can you guarantee availability/performance/SLA for each tenant? What is the advantage of a single pool in this case? You are asking the wrong question IMHO. >>> 3. JMX & Statistics >>> >>> - How can one enable jmx when tomcat 7 jdbc connection pool >> is >>> used independently?
