| A pool can be configured as locators or as a list of servers. |
| |
| You configure locator, server, and pool settings declaratively in the client's `cache.xml` file or programmatically through the `PoolFactory` method. You create an instance of `PoolFactory` through `PoolManager`. |

| - **[Native Client Pool API](client-pool-api.html)** |
| |
| The native client API allows your clients to create and manage connection pools. The server side does not have an API. |
| |
| - **[Pool Configuration Example and Settings](configuring-pools-attributes-example.html)** |
| |
| Connection pools require standard client/server distributed system and cache configuration settings. You must also configure settings for the locator, server, and pool elements. |
| |
| - **[Subscription Properties](subscription-properties.html)** |
| |
| Each connection pool has a single subscription connection that can be to any server that matches the requirements of the connection pool. |
