Hi, during the runtime of my application with a oracle database, i get a "socket closed" exception. I'm using Tomcat 5.5 and it's connection pool facilities. I found out that since oracle jdbc 9.x/10.x drivers a connection could be closed. The workaround from oracle is, to check manually, if the jdbc connection is still open. If a connection is closed, so use a different connection from the pool. Doses this connection (open/close) check also works with the JDO.getDatabase()? Could it be that JDO.getDatabase() is retunring a closed Database connection from a pool? It seems for me the only possible solution (workaround from oracle) at the moment. Any other ideas? thanks, markus
