DBCP in Tomcat 5.5 w/Oracle 9i

As the title states...

I am seeing more oracle connections than the maxActive setting for the connection pool set in server.xml.

Basically, I set the maxActive setting to 20, and during a test I saw up to 44 connections. How is that possible?
 
Fire up a debugger and head into the tomcat connection pooling code? It's been a long time since I dealt with connection pooling (and only then with postres and mysql) but iirc, the pooler that is supplied isn't exactly top notch. I'd be willing to bet oracle supplies a better one, if you can figure out how to configure it.
