Use this page to create a new JDBC connection pool.
A JDBC Connection pool combines the JDBC Data Source properties (used to specify a connection to a database) with the connection pool properties. An application makes use of a JDBC connection pool via a JDBC Resource using a JNDI lookup on the JDBC Resource. A JDBC Connection pool can be referenced by zero or more JDBC Resources; if two applications use two distinct JDBC Resources which reference a single JDBC Connection Pool - then those applications will share the entries in the connection pool.
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.
