I searched through the Turbine source code and didn't found where this exception is thrown! I know it's throwed by the getConnection(String foo) method of PoolBrokerService but can't find where this interface is beeing implemented. Any help is apreciated!!! One of the subscribers, Niek Bunskoek, has posted the only similar problem in this mailing list, on 9th May 2001. However, like me so far, he didn't get any reply on his issue. If any of you know his e-mail address or another way of getting his attention, I would really apreciate it!!!! Maybe he has the solution for this time out problem.
