Tom,
I tend to use the DBCP from apache over the SIMPLE one that we have included
in IBATIS. It does add one more jar to the pile but oh well :)
Here is a page that defines all of the parameters and what they do.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/configuration.html
Here is the main DBCP
We have a problem where we exceed our maximum connections on our
database. Our setup is here. Does MaximumIdleConnections mean that the
database right away grabs 25 connections? Or is that the maximum idle
connections before it starts to clean up?
I see in the iBatis-SqlMaps-2.pdf it says Pool.
