You should try and minimise the amount of connections you create (see JMS1.1 4.3):

"Due to the authentication and communication setup done when a Connection is
created, a Connection is a relatively heavyweight JMS object. Most clients will
do all their messaging with a single Connection. Other more advanced
applications may use several Connections. JMS does not architect a reason for
using multiple connections (other than when a client acts as a gateway
between two different providers); however, there may be operational reasons
for doing so."

However if you are using a JMS JCA resource adaptor to use JMS, then you should *not* attempt to pool connections yourself. This is because with JCA the "connections" are typically proxies around smart connection references which handle pooling transparently for you.
