activeCount, useCount increasing automatically

[shankarr]

Hi!
What is worrying me is that the number of activeCount and useCount are 
increasing though there have been no db interactions.
Any help, appreciated.

This is my data source entry from struts-config.xml file. Is there 
something wrong in it ?

  <data-sources>

    <data-source>
        <set-property property="driverClass" 
value="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver" />
        <set-property property="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/" />
        <set-property property="maxCount" value="500"/>
        <set-property property="minCount" value="1"/>
        <set-property property="minIdle" value="10"/>
        <set-property property="testWhileIdle" value="true"/>
        <set-property property="timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis" value="18000"/>
        <set-property property="testOnBorrow" value="true"/>
        <set-property property="maxActive" value="8"/>
        <set-property property="maxIdle" value="8"/>
        <set-property property="poolPreparedStatements" value="true"/>
        <set-property property="maxOpenPreparedStatements" value="2500"/>
        <set-property property="removeAbandoned" value="true"/>
        <set-property property="removeAbandonedTimeout" value="180"/>
        <set-property property="logAbandoned" value="true"/>
        <set-property property="validationQuery" value="select 1+1"/>
        <set-property property="user" value="root"/>
        <set-property property="password" value=""/>
    </data-source>

  </data-sources>

This is how I get my dbconnection in my action files

  Connection conn = null;
        Statement stmt = null;
        ResultSet rs = null;
        ServletContext context = servlet.getServletContext();
        DataSource dataSource = (DataSource) 
context.getAttribute(Action.DATA_SOURCE_KEY);
        String target = "success";
        conn = dataSource.getConnection();
        stmt = conn.createStatement();

I am getting the following in my tomcat prints.
