thanks once again!

Rajit,

I don't use the Struts DataSource because I had to much trouble with it a
few months ago.  However, the commons DBCP expains all parameters here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/configuration.html

You should be able to set any of them in your struts-config.xml data-source
entry with this syntax:

<set-property
      property="minIdle"
      value="XXX" />

I checked my testing and production environments and I forgot I've switched
away from DBCP to C3P0 (it comes with Hibernate).  However, I'd recommend
the options (listed in the above mentioned web page):

validationQuery set to "select 1+1" works in MySQL and returns 1 row
testWhileIdle set to "true"
timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis set to "1800000" (1000 miliseconds * 60
seconds * 30 minutes)
testOnBorrow set to "true"
minIdle set to "2" (or higher)

Regards,
David

Rajat,

I've had that type of disconnect problem using Hibernate (a product

roughly


like Ibatis).  My problem was one of the DBCP settings: minIdle.  MySQL
wasn't seeing any activity on some pool connections overnight, so it was
disconnecting them.  Lowering the minIdle setting seemed to cause DBCP to
test each pool connection by performing a simple select automatically.

The


query seems to be a non-table select, along the lines of a 'select 1+1;'.
That allowed MySQL to keep each connection active and not disconnect any
overnight after being idle for hours.

Regards,
David

hello gurus, i have an terrible terrible problem with my application, after hosting this application it stops to work after 8-10hrs of idle state. then the server has to restart and then its fine again.

i learnt that the mysql driver disconects after 8hrs of an idle
connection so i addred autoreconnect=true to the connection url. however
the problem doesnt seem to get sovled. just extended fro another another
and then the same problem again.
i need to  know how to remove org.apache.struts.legacy.GenericDataSource
and use the connection from DBCP (commons lib ie.) and will i need to
change the settings in the code (struts-config.xml) i also am thinking
of refactoring the entire codebase usng iBatis. will it solve this issue?

pls help! i need this project to be up and running in the next week.
thanks once again
