Need info about JDBC pool connection status page

 Hi,

We are seeing that the JDBC Pool Status page under the Admin tools page shows information about  "JDBC Pool Status" connection as below. 

[2012-10-05 10:53:24.946JDBC pool status: active(62), idle(1).
Active connections borrowd by:

We know that implementation guide says that this page is not functional. But for sure monitoring this page shows that these numbers grow as users do daily activity in production instance. We would like to understand where these numbers of active/idle connections are coming from? 

Thanks
