Caching is invisible (ie: inside the Connection) whereas with pooling
you have to specifically "check out" a resource.
I'm not sure caching can work very well with Connections... the
pooling concept is used because one wants to obtain a Connection for
EXCLUSIVE use for a period of time (and they you check it back in).
With caching you couldn't do that except by synchronizing the code.
That wouldn't stop another servlet starting to use the Connection and
then having to block - which would be a bad thing.
