Merged idea
This idea has been merged into another idea. To comment or vote on this idea, please visit TWAS-I-127 Datasource connection setup and cleanup configurable statements for WebSphere Liberty profile.

Use PooledConnection in Liberty so applications can override getConnection() to get control each time a connection is reused Merged

Instead of keeping a cached handle around, invoke PooledConnection.getConnection each time a connection is reused from the pool. In that case, applications could wrap ConnectionPoolDataSource (or XADataSource) and also wrap the PooledConnection.getConnection method to have a place to insert logic based on thread-specific state (such as thread local storage) when connections are obtained or reused.
