Meissa, When your database restarts, all your dbcp connections (in the pool) become staled connection.
In order to resolve this problem, dbcp needs to do a ping to database server to make the connection is still up before giving to your app. Looking into dbcp configuration doc, it should have a param you can setup (something like QueryString) where it should be a select statement to a database table. You many need to setup a dummy table just for this purpose. Hope this helps. -Dan ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 7:36 AM Subject: problem with dbcp and database restart > > hi all, > > I have a problem with my configured datasource using dbcp. > I have posted this question to tomcat user list in vain... > Maybe some struts user could help. > > I've configured my dbcp connection pool in Tomcat 4.1.18 > server.xml file. > > here is an extract of it > <ResourceParams name="jdbc/intranetMail"> > <parameter><name>username</name><value>XXXXXXX</value></parameter> > <parameter><name>password</name><value>XXXXXXX</value></parameter> > <parameter><name>driverClassName</name> > <value>com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver</value></parameter> > <parameter><name>url</name> > <value>jdbc:sybase:Tds:s198000SGD1:5000/intranet_mail</value></parameter> > > <parameter> > <name>removeAbandoned</name> > <value>true</value> > </parameter> > <parameter> > <name>removeAbandonedTimeout</name> > <value>60</value> > </parameter> > Everything works fine.
