public class DatabaseConnectionPool
extends java.lang.Object
Connections. In certain
 JDBC implementations, database Connections may be expensive and
 time-consuming to open.  This pool maintains a LIFO stack of open
 Connections in an attempt to re-use existing Connections to the database.
 
 This class requires a JDBC driver that supports the isValid
 method of java.sql.Connection, part of the JDBC 4.0
 specification in Java 6.
