Manage Connection Pools

Use this page to create a new JDBC connection pool. You can also edit or delete the existing JDBC Connection Pools that are displayed on this page.

A JDBC Connection pool combines the JDBC Data Source properties (used to specify a connection to a database) with the connection pool properties. Connection pooling allows highly efficient access to a Database by caching and re-use of physical connections thus avoiding connection overhead and allowing a small number of connections to be shared between a large number of threads.

As well as connection and pooling properties you will need to provide the classname of the driver you will be using to access the database. The driver class is typically provided by your database or specialist driver vendor. The driver class (and any native libraries it uses) must be available in the application server's classpath (or native library path).

An application makes use of a JDBC connection pool via a JDBC Resource using a JNDI lookup on the JDBC Resource.

The following table describes the fields and buttons on the screen. The left column lists the fields and buttons; the right column describes the functionality.
