Alex, Thanks so much for doing the research on this. I do have a few questions. Has Tomcat acknowledged this and agreed that it will be fixed in 5.5.8? Any ETA for 5.5.8? Unless I'm missing something, this seems like it was be a pretty high severity bug. Or are you and I the only two people using JDBC Realms with 5.5.7? Is there no mechanism for putting out patch jar files? One last question... is it possible to extract a JDBCRealm jar file from 5.5.4 without having to completely uninstall and reinstall all of Tomcat? (and if so, what is the jar file name?)
Thanks again.

After the server runs for several hours, I > start getting the following exception on JDBCRealm access. hello. i've just worked through the same problem in the past week, and with the help of the list (thanks Remy Maucherat & Hassan Schroeder!) solved it - so to save them some repetition... what is happening is mysql is dropping the unused connection, and JDBCRealm (since 5.5.4) isn't picking it up again. solutions are to go back to 5.5.4 JDBCRealm, or use DataSourceRealm in 5.5.7, or wait for 5.5.8. see the thread http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111030828800003&r=1&w=2 for more details. share and enjoy, alex. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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]
