Yes I agree too, Ted. Poolman is an excellent, highly configuable, product.
I only regret that it lacks one final feature that other connection pools already have, the pooling of prepared statements. It was one of the new features of the last 2.1beta version but it seems that it was too buggy and a lot of people (including myself) had to go back 2.04. I've proposed the author to donate its project to Jakarta hoping that it could continue to evolve but I had received no answer so far.

And poolman has features you won't find in many of the other connection pools currently available. Despite it no longer being supported, it seems it may still be the best solution. Thanks so much for your thoughtful words!
