Making an Java Application "wait" to be called

[Christopher Rowan]

Heya Hiya Ho!

I want to make a database connection pool class that starts up,
preconnects n jdbc connections, then waits to be called by various apps.

How do I make Java wait without exiting and without putting it into a
cycle sucking loop?

I've checked the API docs and a few books (my due dilligence) but can't
find an answer.

It's got to be ez - I just can't find it.

Also, is CORBA/RMI the only way to call the connections?  Is this even
possible?

Suggestions?
