If you mean close each Connection the answer is YES. Closing a connection returns it to the connection pool in the datasource. Otherwise, it will remain "used" until the reaper
thread recovers it (the default timeout here is 30 minutes -- see the Websphere admin documentation on DataSource setup).
If you mean InitialContexts or Datasources, no you do not close them.
