Will jsp use connPool by this way?

Question

I installed mysql-essential-4.1.13a-win32 and jakarta-tomcat-5.0.19. I just copyed mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar to CATALINA_HOME\common\lib and did nothing to CATALINA_HOME\conf\server.xml, WEB-INF\web.xml. Through jstl, i can access mysql db.I want to know that whether my jsp are using connection pool to access mysql by this way?

Answer 1

Thanks for your replying:), I use the code below to access mysql:
<%@ page contentType='text/html;charset=gb2312'%>
<%@ taglib prefix='c' uri='http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core'%>
<%@ taglib prefix='sql' uri='http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/sql'%>
<sql:setDataSource var='dbRef' url='jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/demo'
                                         driver='com.mysql.jdbc.Driver' user='user' password='password'/>
<sql:query var='queryRst' dataSource='${dbRef}'>
     SELECT * FROM employees
</sql:query>
<table align='center'>
     <tr>
          <c:forEach items='${queryRst.columnNames}' var='colName' begin='1'>
               <th align='center' bgcolor='lightgrey'>${colName}</th>
          </c:forEach>
     </tr>
     <c:forEach items='${queryRst.rowsByIndex}' var='record'>
          <tr>
               <c:forEach items='${record}' var='field' begin='1'>
                    <td>${field}</td>
               </c:forEach>
          </tr>
     </c:forEach>
</table>It is relly a good idea according to SoulTech2012, i don't know how to set a breakpoint in the connection pool or use whatever admin tools you have to monitor the connection pool.What references shoud i turn to on this point?
As evnafets say, i specify all the params in jstl. So connection pool shoud not be used. Can i use connection pool without configing server.xml or web.xml?
