A JDBC Realm is just a tool to authenticate and authorize an user against a database. So it has nothing to do with your problem.
As said earlier finalize() won't help you, as the time when a servlet instance is destroyed is undetermined. It might never be destroyed until tomcat is shut down. How you can achieve your goal is not easy to say, as it requires more knowledge about your application. It's quite unclear to me when and under which circumstances you want to close the connections. The socke write error you reported indicates, that you keep the connection open to long. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Christian J.
