Hello all, I am experiecing problems with mysql regarding connection time outs. This problem cannot be resolved by the pool settings provided or jdbc driver settings such as autoReconnect. Here is a more detailed explaination about the problem (from tss).
------------- A new feature that I'd really like to see in DBCP 1.3 is a time-to-live for Connections. In particular with MySQL, such a feature is very helpful, because MySQL Connections can start showing strange behavior when the underlying connection has been terminated and implicitly reconnected. Note that such a setting should not regard whether the connection has been active or idle: After the specified amount of time, it should be closed and removed from the pool in any case. A validation query doesn't help in the MySQL scenario: The driver will automatically reconnect and successfully execute the query, but the Connection still has a chance of remaining in an inconsistent state. This won't happen on every reconnect, just on some. ------- Does anybody know about this problem and what to do about it? Cheers, Dennis
