Use a Singleton to initialize a new pool and return a connection from the pool.

That's about the idea ... just simplify the interface for creating connections (isn't that a Facade ) thx stef ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kenny Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Jakarta Commons Users List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 4:23 PM Subject: Re: Newbie question > Hi Stefan, > > I'm actually not sure what you mean by a "facade?"
