Plus there are a number of robust open-source connection pool
implementations available. I use Apache dbcp (via Tomcat) and it all works
very nicely and can also clean up resource leaks left by non-programmers
who don't know how to correctly use a finally block :)

OT, I can't really see the point of re-inventing the wheel by providing
our own connection pooling. Does anyone else have any views on this?
