I am currently using MySQL 5.0.15 with mysql-connector-java-3.1.11. I can access the database from my JSPs with no problem except for one small issue. After a long delay (usually overnight), when someone first tries to access the database, I would get the following error:

Communications link failure due to underlying exception: ** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION ** java.net.SocketException MESSAGE: Broken pipe STACKTRACE: java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(Native Method) at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite(SocketOutputStream.java:92) at java.net.SocketOutputStream.write(SocketOutputStream.java:136) at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flushBuffer(BufferedOutputStream.java:65) at java.io.BufferedOutputStream.flush(BufferedOutputStream.java:123) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.send(MysqlIO.java:2690) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.send(MysqlIO.java:2619) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sendCommand(MysqlIO.java:1552) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sqlQueryDirect(MysqlIO.java:1666) at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.execSQL(Connection.java:2978) at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.execSQL(Connection.java:2902) at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.executeInternal(PreparedStatement.java:933) at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.executeQuery(PreparedStatement.java:1027) at org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.DelegatingPreparedStatement.executeQuery(DelegatingPreparedStatement.java:92) at org.apache.jsp.processLogin_jsp._jspService(org.apache.jsp.processLogin_jsp:81) at org.apache.jasper.runtime.HttpJspBase.service(HttpJspBase.java:97) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:322) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:291) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:241) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.internalDoFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:252) at org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationFilterChain.doFilter(ApplicationFilterChain.java:173) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:213) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContextValve.invoke(StandardContextValve.java:178) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:126) at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:105) at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:107) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:148) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.process(Http11Processor.java:856) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol$Http11ConnectionHandler.processConnection(Http11Protocol.java:744) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.PoolTcpEndpoint.processSocket(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:527) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.LeaderFollowerWorkerThread.runIt(LeaderFollowerWorkerThread.java:80) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:684) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) ** END NESTED EXCEPTION ** Last packet sent to the server was 0 ms ago.

But afterwards, on the second and subsequent attempts, the database runs fine. It is only the first try after a long idle period that I get this error message. I am not sure how to fix this. I am guessing that the database connection is down after a long idle period and have to recreate a connection first after the first try.

Hi Michael,

Try looking at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/server-system-variables.html more
specifically the connect-timeout variable. You should use SHOW VARIABLES
LIKE "%connect%"; and check the value.

It maybe this and you can stretch it out further if you need to.

Regards


I tried lengthening the connection timeout but it doesn't seem to be working. Here is my ROOT.xml configuration:

<Context path="" docBase="/home/tomcat/applications/" debug="0" reloadable="true" >
   <Resource name="jdbc/****" type="javax.sql.DataSource"
             auth="Container" driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
             url="jdbc:mysql://localhost/<hostname>?autoReconnect=true"
             username="****" password="****"
             maxActive="8" maxIdle="-1" maxWait="10000" />
</Context>

Is there any way to keep a connection alive indefinitely? I thought the autoReconnect would do the trick.
