I've configured my jdbc datasource connection pool(using dbcp) in Tomcat 4.1.18 server.xml file.
here is an extract of it. <ResourceParams name="jdbc/intranetMail"> <parameter><name>username</name><value>XXXXXXX</value></parameter> <parameter><name>password</name><value>XXXXXXX</value></parameter> <parameter><name>driverClassName</name> <value>com.sybase.jdbc2.jdbc.SybDriver</value></parameter> <parameter><name>url</name> <value>jdbc:sybase:Tds:s198000SGD1:5000/intranet_mail</value></parameter> </ResourceParams> Everything works fine. But when our database server is restarted, I have to restart Tomcat too in order to aquire connections from my defined pool. I wonder if there is a manner to avoid restarting Tomcat when the database server is restarted. I have added the parameters below to my pool config. <parameter> <name>removeAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>removeAbandonedTimeout</name> <value>60</value> </parameter> I recognize ,I've added that quite blindly. Can someone confirm me if this is a cure to my problem ? any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
