Please help...connection pooling question

I am using eclipse 3.2.1 and tomcat 5.5.2 on my desktop, with mysql 3.23.58 on a remote host. I am able to connect to mysql using DBCP. I am concerned because the first time I make a connection, I see the following in the output log:

AbandonedObjectPool is used (org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.AbandonedObjectPool@cad437)

LogAbandoned: true

RemoveAbandoned: true

RemoveAbandonedTimeout: 30

It is only occurring for the first connection. All subsequent connections do not display this message. I have searched everywhere, and cannot seem to find out why this occurs.

Any suggestions or thoughts as to why this is happening?
