Bad practice. Connections are scarce resources and should be held for the minimum amount of time. Grab them from the pool, run whatever query you need, release them back to the pool. Make sure your release code handles exception and does not hold on to connections. Do not wait for the finalize() methods. They will be called during GC, yes, but it is difficult if not impossible to know exactly when GC will be called for your specific objects, even after no references are held to them.
