是否有必要在Tomcat JDBC池中显式关闭连接？

Question

Example code in " http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/jdbc-pool.html " explicitly closes a connection after it is used.

However according to my understanding, should not it be the connection pool's responsibility to manage active and idle connections?

Why would not I want a connection to be re-used by another transaction?

Answer 1

You must close the connection so that you can release it back to the pool. The "Connection" you get from the pool does not, per se, represent the actual, physical connection to the DB. Rather it's a wrapper. So, closing the connection informs the pool that it is free for use by other clients of the pool.

Answer 2

您需要调用Connection.close（）来返回到池的连接，它实际上并不关闭底层连接。
