Connection pooling has already been addressed, the
newest versions of the JDBC have it built in. Of
cource, not everybody has the newest JDBC, but that's
a different issue.
Record pagination is harder, because the solution
depends heavily on the exact circumstances of the
application. (How many users, records expected per
user, size of hardware, programming budget, which
database is being used, how big is the db server,
etc).
So there isn't one single best answer. There isn't
even one or two best answers. It just depends.
So a big variety of third-party solutions, instead
of a single solution from Sun, is probably the right
thing.
That isn't to say the spec shouldn't move forward,
but for these two issues Sun seems to be doing ok.
