Connection Pooling in Data Source

Question

Hello,
I have defined a data source in JDeveloper using
class :oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
In my java bean I am using the code pasted below to make a connection to database.
Can some one tell whether I am using the correct method of connection pooling mechanism or do I need to make some changes? This application uses JSP and used by lots of people which hits database very frequently.
Any help is highly appreciable.
Thanks in advance.
*******Code to make connection*********
private javax.naming.InitialContext context = null;
private javax.sql.DataSource jdbcURL = null;
private static final String url = "jdbc/ProdCoreDS";
public boolean openConnection()
try
    DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
context = new javax.naming.InitialContext();
jdbcURL = (javax.sql.DataSource)context.lookup(url);
con =  jdbcURL.getConnection();
return true;
  catch(Exception e)
       System.out.println("Error in the Connection  "+e);
    e.printStackTrace();
             return false;
  }

I have read the documentation.
I changed my class to oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionCacheImpl from
oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource
I observed in the EM that the Open JDBC Connections and Total JDBC Connections are the same. When I used oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionPoolDataSource my Total JDBC Connections was increasing and Open JDBC Connections remains 0.
My question still remains unanswered, could some kindly help.
