-                            Enables Hibernate to aggressively release JDBC Connections, if supported

+                            Specify when Hibernate should release JDBC connections. By default, 
+                            a JDBC connection is held until the session is explicitly closed or
+                            disconnected. For an application server JTA datasource, you should use
+                            <literal>after_statement</literal>, to aggressively release connections
+                            after every JDBC call. For a non-JTA connection, it often makes sense to
+                            release the connection at the end of each transaction, by using
+                            <literal>after_transaction</literal>. <literal>auto</literal> will

+                            strategies and <literal>after_transaction</literal> for the JDBC
