You have to keep a list of connection pools.

I would use a Map< String, ConnectionPool >, where the key is the connection id. When you need a connection, you take it from this map :

Connection connectionDbAccounts = connectionMap.get("accounts").getConnection();
// Use connectionDbAccounts...
connectionDbAccounts.close();
