If your connection pool is a Singleton, and its "get/set" connection methods
are static, any servlet that is running in your servlet engine's VM can
access the pool.
For example, if my connection pool is called MultiPool (which it is), I
could call MultiPool.getConnection() from any of my servlets to get a
connection.
This is because each servlet will try to instantiate a new instance of
MultiPool in their init() method. But, since MultiPool is a singleton, it
only ever creates _one_ instance of itself, and then simply returns a
reference to that single instance to all of the other servlets that call its
constructor.
