JNDI Connection pooling defaults

[Madocke TomCat users]

Hi guys,
 
I realize this might be slightly off-topic, but I've got no other place to turn. I'm 
using Tomcat's default connection pool using the mm.mysql JDBC driver. It seems that 
my program creates a little too many database connections when I load about 20-30 
pages at the same time. My temporary solution to fix this problem would be to increase 
the number of connections the dbpool maintains, but I can't seem to find how many 
connections Tomcat maintains standard. I can't seem to find anything at all about that 
come to think about it. Any input on the issue would be greatly appreciated.
 
My server.xml:
 
             <Context path="" docBase="site" debug="0">
                   <Resource name="jdbc/PrivaCmsDB" auth="Container"
                   type="javax.sql.DataSource"/> <ResourceParams
                   name="jdbc/PrivaCmsDB">
                           <parameter>
                                   <name>user</name>
                                   <value>********</value>
                           </parameter>
                           <parameter>
                                   <name>password</name>
                                   <value>********</value>
                           </parameter>
                           <parameter>
                                   <name>driverClassName</name>
                                   <value>org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</value>
                           </parameter>
                           <parameter>
                                   <name>driverName</name>
                                   <value>jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/dbDefault</value>
                           </parameter>
                   </ResourceParams>
             </Context>

Thanks in advance guys.
