    Connection Pooling In JBOSS

      Hi,
      I am Using oracle as the datasource. I have a doubt whether I should write any connection pool for the JBoss app Server.Lets Say I have a maximum of
      15 connections configured in my oracle-xa-da.xml. I have pasted my oracle-xa-ds below.


      <xa-datasource>
      <jndi-name>XAOracleDS</jndi-name>
      <track-connection-by-tx/>
      <isSameRM-override-value>false</isSameRM-override-value>
      <xa-datasource-class>oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource</xa-datasource-class>
      <xa-datasource-property name="URL">jdbc:oracle:oci8:@tc</xa-datasource-property>
      <xa-datasource-property name="User">scott</xa-datasource-property>
      <xa-datasource-property name="Password">tiger</xa-datasource-property>
      <!-- Uses the pingDatabase method to check a connection is still valid before handing it out from the pool -->
      <!--valid-connection-checker-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleValidConnectionChecker</valid-connection-checker-class-name-->
      <!-- Checks the Oracle error codes and messages for fatal errors -->
      <!-- The minimum connections in a pool/sub-pool. Pools are lazily constructed on first use -->
      <min-pool-size>5</min-pool-size>

      <!-- The maximum connections in a pool/sub-pool -->
      <max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>

      <exception-sorter-class-name>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.vendor.OracleExceptionSorter</exception-sorter-class-name>
      <!-- Oracles XA datasource cannot reuse a connection outside a transaction once enlisted in a global transaction and vice-versa -->
      <no-tx-separate-pools/>
      </xa-datasource>


      <depends optional-attribute-name="TransactionManagerService">jboss:service=TransactionManager





      I have written a connection pool class as shown below.

      import java.sql.*;
      import javax.sql.*;
      import javax.naming.*;

      public class DBConnector {
      public Connection getConnection(){

      try {

      Context ctx = new InitialContext();

      DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("java:/DevelopmentDS");

      return ds.getConnection();

      }catch(Exception exe){

      System.out.println ("The exception is " + exe);

      return null;

      }

      }


      public void closeConnection (PreparedStatement stmt, ResultSet rs, Connection con){


      try{

      if (stmt != null){

      stmt.close();

      }

      if (rs != null){

      rs.close();

      }

      if (con != null){

      con.close();

      }

      }catch(Exception exe){

      }

      }

      }

      If 25 different Session Beans tries to get the connection from the pool
      what will happen, will JBoss internally Queue the Bean until they get a connection. Please help me
