A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Interface description says:
"If no PooledConnection object is available, the connection pool manager calls the PooledConnection method getConnection to create a new physical connection and returns a handle to it.
"

I understand that ConnectionPoolDataSource.getPooledConnection() is being called in this situation, not PooledConnection.getConnection(). Latter is just used to create a new Connection Handle. (in the interface description, it would mean that one physical pooled connection may have multiple Connection objects associated)



regards,
Kristof Decloedt

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
"If no PooledConnection object is available, the connection pool manager calls the ConnectionPoolDataSource method getPooledConnection() to create a new logical ConnectionPool object and returns a handle to it to the application by calling the getConnection() method on this new ConnectionPool object.
"

ACTUAL -
"If no PooledConnection object is available, the connection pool manager calls the PooledConnection method getConnection to create a new physical connection and returns a handle to it.
"
