I tried changing the "removeAbandonedTimeout" to <value>1</value> and then to test it was working - here's what I did.
1. My app opens 2 connections to MySQL - one for the JDBCRealm and one for the database connection pool. 2. Logged into mysql to monitor the number of connections - it was intially reported as 3 (1 for admin console, 2 for my app). 3. Logged into Tomcat's Manager app, and stopped my application. Database connections = 3. 4. Started my application. Database connections = 5. I did this a number of times and it increased by 2 each time - so obviously this setting does not work on Tomcat 4.1.27/WinXP/JDK 1.4.2.

With DBCP, you have these optional parameters: <!-- abandoned dB connections are removed and recycled --> <parameter> <name>removeAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <!-- set the number of seconds a dB connection has been idle before it is considered abandoned. default timeout is 300 seconds.--> <parameter> <name>removeAbandonedTimeout</name> <value>60</value> </parameter> <!-- 'logAbandoned' can be set to true if you want DBCP to log a stack trace of the code which abandoned connections.--> <parameter> <name>logAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> I think if you set the timeout to 1 or 2, then you may see a stacktrace from abandoned connections. I'd be interested to see if it works, Adam On 10/03/2003 12:30 AM Jose Alfonso Martinez wrote: > On Wed, Oct 01, 2003 at 11:37:39AM -0500, Matt Raible wrote: > >>I already do this, but when I "reload" my context, I get two database >>connections, rather than one.

I have that problem. I close connections after each access but when I reload my context I guess a new datasource is created, therefore oppening new connections.

May be it could be that I do not nullify the datasource in some destroy() method but I am not sure... > > Jose > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- struts 1.1 + tomcat 5.0.12 + java 1.4.2 Linux 2.4.20 RH9 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
