+"Many Jakarta projects support interaction with a relational database. Creating
+a new connection for each user can be time consuming (often requiring multiple 
+seconds of clock time), in order to perform a database transaction that might 
+take milliseconds. Opening a connection per user can be unfeasible in a 
+publicly-hosted Internet application where the number of simultaneous users can 
+be very large. Accordingly, developers often wish to share a "pool" of open 
+connections between all of the application's current users. The number of users 
+actually performing a request at any given time is usually a very small 
+percentage of the total number of active users, and during request processing 
+is the only time that a database connection is required. The application itself 
+logs into the DBMS, and handles any user account issues internally.
+
+There are several Database Connection Pools already available, both within 
+Jakarta products and elsewhere. This Commons package provides an opportunity to 
+coordinate the efforts required to create and maintain an efficient, 
+feature-rich package under the ASF license."
