That is correct. This is because the checkout method is implemented
like this (ignore syntax issues, this is psuedocode, won't match
method signatures, etc.):
public synchronized Connection checkout()
{
// obtain connection by whatever means necessary,
// validate the connection, etc.
}
There's nothing particularly awkward, stupid or evil about the above
code. It's just that it uses "synchronized" for the whole method and
there are some performance penalties for doing that.
The term "single-threaded" is a bit misleading... of course DBCP is
thread-safe and multiple threads can access it, but there is
serialized access to the checkout method.
Tomcat-pool uses a different strategy for thread-safety that lends
itself to better performance under heavier loads.
