Ok, thanks Knut - my misunderstanding.
I understood the ConnectionPoolDataSource as merely facilitating connection
pooling. If it manages the actual pooling though, is there any point in
handling the ConnectionEvents ? Other than for monitoring/interest ...

Subject: Re: PooledConnection being closed
Well, the point with pooled connections is that you use
getConnection() and close() as with ordinary connections, but the
underlying physical connection is kept open. The Connection object
returned by getConnection() is a logical connection, and you cannot
use it after it is closed. If you call getConnection() again, you will
get a new logical connection, and therefore a new Connection
object. However, the new logical connection might still use the same
physical connection.
