Hi

        I am using a custom JCA Resource Adapter for Siebel.We are running our 
application on JBoss 4.0.5(Production Release).
        We are experiencing a Strange problem of connection pooling.Here is the 
simulation of the problem
        
        1) We have written a servlet that obtains a "valid" Siebel connection 
from the pool.
        2) It performs "n" number of queries with the same connection object(in 
a for loop).
        3) Suddenly a "NullpointerException" is thrown during the 
execution.Going to the root cause of the exception we have analysed that the 
"ManagedConnection(SiebelManagedConnection)" object associated with the 
connection(SiebelConnection) handle becomes null.
        4) Digging into the JCA code we found that such an even can take place 
only if you call a "close" method on the connection object.
        5) However the "for loop" or the code that is called from the for loop 
does not give any evidence of "close" method being called on the connection 
object.
        6) So we are quite sure that our application code is not closing the 
connection in between of the execution.
        7) Is JBoss's connection pooling mechanism responsible for this ?
        8) To make the problem more strange the "NullPointerException" is 
thrown only when we give 20 concurrent requests to the servlet.
        The "max-pool-size" is set to "18".But the blocking time-out is set to 
30Sec.The for loop will not take more than 10Sec to execute.

        Even if the connections in the pool gets exhausted, we should get the 
exception message like "No ManagedConnection Available" in the beginning of the 
execution.JBoss does throw an exception in the situation like this.       
        But the server should not do anything with the connection object that 
is already held by the calling thread.
        
        Can anyone help me in resolving the issue?
