Why not using Microsoft's SQL server JDBC driver type 4? - Rabih
-----Original Message----- From: Murray, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 24 February 2003 09:04 To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure Hi all, I'm having a problem reconnecting to a database after a number of hours of inactivity or of the database times out for any length of time. java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Communication link failure My datasource definition reads as follows: <data-sources> <data-source autoCommit="false" description="database1" key="db1" minCount="2" maxCount="4" driverClass="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" url="jdbc:odbc:database1" user="auser" password="apassword" /> <data-source autoCommit="false" description="database2" key="db2" minCount="2" maxCount="4" driverClass="sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" url="jdbc:odbc:database2" user="anotheruser" password="anotherpassword"/> </data-sources> I've tried adding autoReconnect to the datasource definition, either as a property or as part of the url, but this has no effect, other than to cause errors when the config is being parsed. The Java application server we're using is SAP's J2EE engine (formerly known as In-Q-My) Is there another way to force a reconnect? A different driver set perhaps? any help would be appreciated Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
