Hi All

I have a java application(not a web application) in which I have to update three databases based on certain conditions

I have been asked to implement Connection pooling

Now i am really confused should I maintain three different connection pools or a single pool will be sufficient

can any body please how some light on the subject

Three different pools. A pool is associated to one specific data source. If you just had one big pool, you wouldn't know which database you were connecting to when you got a connection from it!

Definitely checkout http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/.

This is a connection pooling mechanism that is great. I have put it into place in a commercial application. It is easy to use and has a lot of different features should you need more than basic pooling.

Enjoy,
