- It's not a good idea to open a connection in the init method.
- It's better to use a connection pool (e.g. DBCP from the commons project) and get the connection from the pool for each request (ideally this handles timeouts transparently to the application programmer). - If you want to stick with your solution you can catch the SQLException that is thrown and recreate the connection and continue (That only works, if the driver of your db throws an unambiguous Exception) > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Günter Kukies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 10.
