I understand best practice is to initialize a connection from a connection pool by clearing the Application Context.

However,there are multiple namespaces.

Should every namespace be cleared?

How does one find the name of every namespace?

Not cleared but set.

You should have knowledge of what contexts your application requires/uses, and these are the things that should be set to the values you require for your duration of the use of the connection from the pool.

But this can be avoided with global application contexts, so that you don't run the possibility of clashing - each logical session gets its on value, as determined by a client identifier that you control.

for an example of that
