True. For most web applications, this isn't a limitation. Unless I'm missing something, forcing each user to have his own database-level identity mostly defeats the purpose of having a connection pool anyway; in n-tier environments this is rarely done. Authentication and authorization is enforced in one of the middle tiers instead.
I don't know poolman, but I personally consider anything that doesn't expose a DataSource interface proprietary and obsolete.
