Sure, any multi-threaded Java program can do that. It's not as useful as it sounds, unless your program has a lot of threads that don't do any database work. That's not very common. For more on this, see this post: http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] g > Is there an equivalent way to do this with mod_perl? With the current mod_perl you should use the recommended reverse proxy architecture to keep requests for non-mod_perl content from tying up database connections. With mod_perl 2, those requests will not invoke a perl interpreter and thus will not tie up a database connection. - Perrin
