Re: connection pool.. got it figured...

Brad,

The static modifier does not have anything to do with accessibility.  The
static modifier only means that the variable is CLASS specific, not INSTANCE
specific.  When you make something static, there is only one reference made.
When you do not make a variable static, there is a reference to a memory
position for each instance of that class.  To make sure that all users can
use the AS/400 connection pool, you need to make sure there is public access
to it at some point.
