# Pooling Connections

In version 3.2 of Business Components for Java, connection pooling is the new default behavior. Instead of one JDBC connection being created for each application module instance, and being destroyed when the instance disconnects, application module instances can now reuse a pool of connections.

Here are the tasks you can perform related to connection pooling:

- Enabling and Disabling Connection Pooling

- Setting the Maximum Number of Pool Connections

- Setting the Initial Number of Pool Connections

- Setting the Connection Pool Wait Timeout

- Using a Custom Connection Pool Manager
