Good Client Socket Pool

Question

I need to manage long running TCP socket connections to an external server from my Java application. I'm looking for a good socket pool so I will be able to re-use the sockets. Are there any suggestions?

Answer 1

You could have a look at building a socket pool on top of Commons Pool.

Answer 2

Koders.com has an implementation here. I can't vouch for it's functionality, however, so you should run a few tests on it.
