/**@class javax.sql.PooledConnection An object that provides hooks for connection pool management. A <code>PooledConnection</code> object represents a physical connection to a data source. The connection can be recycled rather than being closed when an application is finished with it, thus reducing the number of connections that need to be made. <P> An application programmer does not use the <code>PooledConnection</code> interface directly; rather, it is used by a middle tier infrastructure that manages the pooling of connections. <P> When an application calls the method <code>DataSource.getConnection</code>, it gets back a <code>Connection</code> object. If connection pooling is being done, that <code>Connection</code> object is actually a handle to a <code>PooledConnection</code> object, which is a physical connection. <P> The connection pool manager, typically the application server, maintains a pool of <code>PooledConnection</code> objects. If there is a <code>PooledConnection</code> object available in the pool, the connection pool manager returns a <code>Connection</code> object that is a handle to that physical connection. If no <code>PooledConnection</code> object is available, the connection pool manager calls the <code>ConnectionPoolDataSource</code> method <code>getPoolConnection</code> to create a new physical connection. The JDBC driver implementing <code>ConnectionPoolDataSource</code> creates a new <code>PooledConnection</code> object and returns a handle to it. <P> When an application closes a connection, it calls the <code>Connection</code> method <code>close</code>. When connection pooling is being done, the connection pool manager is notified because it has registered itself as a <code>ConnectionEventListener</code> object using the <code>ConnectionPool</code> method <code>addConnectionEventListener</code>. The connection pool manager deactivates the handle to the <code>PooledConnection</code> object and returns the <code>PooledConnection</code> object to the pool of connections so that it can be used again. Thus, when an application closes its connection, the underlying physical connection is recycled rather than being closed. <P> The physical connection is not closed until the connection pool manager calls the <code>PooledConnection</code> method <code>close</code>. This method is generally called to have an orderly shutdown of the server or if a fatal error has made the connection unusable. <p> A connection pool manager is often also a statement pool manager, maintining a pool of <code>PreparedStatement</code> objects. When an application closes a prepared statement, it calls the <code>PreparedStatement</code> method <code>close</code>. When <code>Statement</code> pooling is being done, the pool manager is notified because it has registered itself as a <code>StatementEventListener</code> object using the <code>ConnectionPool</code> method <code>addStatementEventListener</code>. Thus, when an application closes its <code>PreparedStatement</code>, the underlying prepared statement is recycled rather than being closed. <P> @since 1.4 */ var PooledConnection = { /**Creates and returns a <code>Connection</code> object that is a handle for the physical connection that this <code>PooledConnection</code> object represents.
