Thanks, I got the blocking to work...
I checked the Minerva link as you suggested but the settings for the JCML
file don't appear to be included. I did however find a file in the CVS
"minerva.html" that contained some details.
My problem was that the finder methods returned references to a number
beans, each of which established a connection... hence exhausting my 5
connection limit. I changed databases to workaround this problem, but I
wondered if there is any way to share such connections between beans?
