Expanding on your proposals would be great, so we can see what you mean. The first solution sounds the cleaner as, if I read it correctly, you are intending to separate the internal pooling for each connection. The second solution makes it sound as if you are only using a single pool for all sessions. As for the name, it definitely does not represent what it does but it has always been that as far as I am aware. Not a good choice but not one I am responsible for :) Kev View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4230376#...
