"question on securing a datasource"

--------------------------------------------------------------
I'm currently using an SLSB that validates a user's login to a database where 
the database is configured to lock the user's account after several bad 
password attempts.  If I have a previous valid connection for a user still 
active in the jboss database connection pool and a new login attempt has locked 
the user's account, I find an application can still attempt to 'guess' the 
user's password until the previous active connection in the pool expires due to 
the idle timeout setting.  An application can keep guessing the user's password 
and if it gets it correct, the previous active connection in the pool allows 
the appliction to connect to the database even if it is originating from a 
different ip address.  Is there a way I can get a reference to the jboss 
database pool to flush out active connections for this situation or another way 
to make this more secure?
