It is a little bit strange to have equals() guarantee that it is the same 
connection.  I usually count on equals() to tell me something about logical 
equality and == to see if something is really the same object.

for example:
      Date d1 = new Date();
      Date d2 = (Date) d1.clone();

      if ( d1.equals( d2 ) ) {

         // This is true
      }

      if ( d1 == d2  ) {

         // This is not
      }


This make it seem as though two connections should be equal if they come from 
the same pool and have the same state.  Since if they came from the same pool 
they would have all of the same logical properties.

Just my $.02,

Craig
