Is it possible to get more than one connection from Tomcat's dbcp asynchronously? I mean, the same client has access more than one db-connection instance?

Apache Tomcat uses HTTP protocol which is TCP based. TCP is stateful protocol (please refer to the link I gave in the comment).

If you connect multiple times to your webserver from the same client it will open different ports for each connection which means the direct answer to your question is yes, same client can make multiple connections to a webserver.

  • I still don't see how it relates to getting multiple db-connections from the pool for the same client. – stella Jul 28 '15 at 04:12
  • Same with DB connections they are TCP based so you can make multiple connections to a DB from the same client. – Griffin Jul 28 '15 at 12:57
