JBoss AS7 JNDI Datasource Database pooling not really pooling.

I have a MySQL datasource setup with a min pool size set to 5 but if I do a "show processlist;" in MySQL I only see one connect?

Why is JBoss not opening the 5 min connections?

Below is my xml:

<datasource jta="false" jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/mySQLDB" pool-name="MySQL" enabled="true" use-ccm="false">

                    <connection-url>jdbc:mysql:/xxx/jsmith1</connection-url>

                    <driver-class>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver-class>

                    <driver>mysql-connector-java-5.1.21.jar</driver>

                    <pool>

                        <min-pool-size>2</min-pool-size>

                        <max-pool-size>10</max-pool-size>

                        <use-strict-min>false</use-strict-min>

                    </pool>

                    <security>

                        <user-name>jsmith</user-name>

                        <password>xxxx</password>

                    </security>

                    <validation>

                        <validate-on-match>false</validate-on-match>

                        <background-validation>false</background-validation>

                    </validation>

                    <statement>

                        <share-prepared-statements>false</share-prepared-statements>

                    </statement>

</datasource>
