You may want to look into these two classes from oracle. oracle.jdbc.oci.OracleOCIConnection oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleOCIConnectionPool
They should be in the classes12.jar. This will preclude you from using the thin driver, but probably provide more stability in connection pooling.

Hi all, I can't find an answer to this question. Plese help me. I have an apache-tomcat(4.0.3) system installed. I use a connection DataSource with a Oracle database (I have a resource in server.xml with type="javax.sql.DataSource"). ---> Instruction in the JNDI Resources HOW-TO section of Tomcat 4.0.x. My question is this. If Oracle DB crashes and it has to been restarted, does my web application,that uses DataSource, have to be restarted? I have a class with this static block: static { try { Context initCtx = new InitialContext(); Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env"); DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup(dbName); con = ds.getConnection(); if (con == null) System.out.println("[ERROR] Connection null"); } catch (Exception ex) { System.out.println("[ERROR] Errore = " + ex.toString() + " \n" + ex.getMessage()); con = null; } } and I have a method: protected synchronized Connection getConnection() { while (conFree == false) { try { wait(); } catch (InterruptedException e) { System.out.println("[ERROR] Exception getConnection() = " + e.toString()); } } conFree = false; notify(); return con; } In the servlets of my web application I call getConnection() to take the connection: if db is restarted what happen?
