Connection pooling means that connections are reused rather than created each time a connection is requested. Your application can use connection pooling through the DataDirect Connection Pool Manager.
Connection pooling is performed in the background and does not affect how an application is coded; however, the application must use a DataSource object (an object implementing the DataSource interface) to obtain a connection instead of using the DriverManager class. A class implementing the DataSource interface may or may not provide connection pooling. A DataSource object registers with a JNDI naming service. Once a DataSource object is registered, the application retrieves it from the JNDI naming service in the standard way.
