Sun WebServer 6.1 SP4 Connection Pool Please Help

Question

Hi All,
I really need your help, we are using Sun One Web server 6.1 SP4 with oracle 8i, recently we implemented server�s connection pool, but now after 2-3 hrs our web server is hanging and not responding to any request. Earlier I had max pool size 32 and I have increased it to 128 but still the same problem.
Before Implementing server connection pool we were using custom connection pool and the problem we had with that, we did not had any of validating the connection before giving to user and due to that it use to create problems.
I am lost and looking for some solutions please.
Thanks
Rajeev

This is the code which we use for geting connection and closing connection.
import javax.sql.*;
import java.sql.*; //Connection class
import javax.naming.*; //InitialContext
public class ABCConnectionPool
     //public static synchronized Connection getConnection()
     public static Connection getConnection()
               Connection connection = null;
          try{
                    InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
                    String dsName = "java:comp/env/jdbc/jdbc-sss";
                    DataSource ds = (javax.sql.DataSource)ctx.lookup(dsName);
     connection = ds.getConnection();
                    return connection;
               catch(Exception e)
                    e.printStackTrace();
               return connection;
               //return null;
     public static void releaseConnection(Connection usedConnection)
          try
                    usedConnection.close();
          catch(Exception e)
               e.printStackTrace();
     }//releaseConnection()
}//class
Where ever we need a coonection we call getConnection() method of above class and whenever we are done we call releaseConnection() method of this class. I really don't know in sun web server 6.1, what do I need to do to return the connection to pool?
Another question I have is do we need to make getConnection() method synchronized?
Thanks again for your help.
