Thanks for your reply Martin. Your response kind of lost me though. I used the howto guide at http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html which mentions the default Data Source (dbcp I believe). But mentioned nothing about the algorithms you said.

Most connection pools with close the connection only after statement handles are quiesced (explicit close) or starved for activity ?
