Connection Pooling for My Custom Application

In my Project i have a server application and a client application and one mediator application.Client communicates with the server through the mediator application.The mediator application inturn connects to the server application.

For Every client it needs to connect to the server application. I know that for every client request opening a new connection is expensive. I think i can make use of the connection pooling concept. How to implement this in java. Any pointers appreciated...

Thanks and Regards,

Sunny.

Use an object pooling api, such as Apache Commons Pool to implement your own pooling mechanism, or use an existing and feature rich caching solution such as Ehcache.

This can be made possible by using ExecutorService in java.util.concurrent package. Executors is a factory method that provides implementation for thread pools with either fixed number of threads or thread pool size bounded by the memory available.

From personal experience, fixed size thread pools are reliable than cached thread pools due to overhead involved in destroying and creating threads.
