Did you do a compare of the JCC log for the same application run with a - the glassfish connection pool b - the ibatis SIMPLE datasource
thanks Mario "Jeff Hibbs" <jhi...@bop.gov> To 10/04/2009 22:20 <user-java@ibatis.apache.org> cc Please respond to Subject user-j...@ibatis. Re: Idle Threads - Glassfish/DB2 apache.org Hi Nathan - Thanks for the suggestion...as you suspected, it works fine in the test env with the SIMPLE datasource that comes with ibatis. While this does give us more information, at this point I still have to use the Glassfish connection pools in production, as ours is one of many apps that reside on these (cluster) servers, and we must conform to the standard Connection Pools. Any additional insight into these questions would be greatly appreciated.... 1. Why are the iBATIS queries keeping idle threads open on DB2 while the straight JDBC coded queries are not. 2. Why does this only appear to happen with Glassfish Connection Pools? Again, thanks for you help! Jeff >>> Nathan Maves <nathan.ma...@gmail.com> 4/3/2009 10:29 AM >>> Jeff, Not to state the obvious but it does not seem like an ibatis issue. It sounds more like the connection pool implementation of Glassfish. As a test you might try creating your own connection pool using the SIMPLE datasource type in ibatis just to ensure that it is an issue with Glassfish.

Our iBatis-based application was running on Sun1 Server/DB2 Version 8 - z/OS with no problems. When we migrated to Glassfish V2, the DB folks noticed many idle threads coming from our application which uses iBATIS 2.1.5 (July 2005 Build). Other (non-iBATIS) applications that use straight JDBC (no ORM) on the same server, using the same connection pool, were not causing idle threads. Below is a sample what the DBA is seeing: —--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Primauth Planname name ID Status elapsed time CPU time xxxxxxxxx DISTSERV SYSLN100 SERVER *DB2 5:23.78195 0.000969 xxxxxxxxx DISTSERV SYSLN100 SERVER *DB2 5:23.67919 0.001146 xxxxxxxxx DISTSERV SYSLN100 SERVER *DB2 5:23.59251 0.000896 xxxxxxxxx DISTSERV SYSLN100 SERVER *DB2 5:18.40476 0.001567 xxxxxxxxx DISTSERV SYSLN100 SERVER *DB2 5:18.38349 0.001066 14.46.15 STC12568 DSNL028I #J3P1 GAD00841.K6FE.C3F92EF69C21=157421 914 914 ACCESSING DATA FOR 914 LOCATION xx.xxx.x.xx 914 IPADDR xx.xxx.x.xx 14.48.14 STC12568 DSNL027I #J3P1 SERVER DISTRIBUTED AGENT WITH 561 561 LUWID=GAD00840.PC1B.C3F92F10E401=157523 561 THREAD-INFO=xxxxxx:genie4:xxxxxxx:db2jcc_applic 561 RECEIVED ABEND=04E 561 FOR REASON=00D3003B 14.48.14 STC12568 DSNL027I #J3P1 SERVER DISTRIBUTED AGENT WITH 562 562 LUWID=GAD00840.PC20.C3F92F1B5DDF=157544 562 THREAD-INFO=xxxxxxx:genie4:xxxxxxx:db2jcc_applic 562 RECEIVED ABEND=04E 562 FOR REASON=00D3003B —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not going to pretend to know what all this means, but apparently iBATIS/Glassfish is not releasing the threads after the SQL completes. Again, other non-iBATIS applications using the same connection pool are not generating these ilde threads. From a user's perspective the system is running fine - the queries are returning quickly. Also, we are not exhausting the connections in the connection pool, but apparently some resources in DB2 are incorrectly being left open. I guess I'm not sure of the difference between a "connection" and a "thread" from the DB2 perspective. We have been able to replicate this in the Test env. Here's what we know so far: - Tried iBATIS 2.3.3.720: same results - Used replaced glassfish with Tomcat and the problem went away Obvious questions: 1. Why are the iBATIS queries keeping idle threads open on DB2 while the straight JDBC coded queries are not. 2. Why does this only appear to happen with Glassfish? Here's our iBATIS config: <settings useStatementNamespaces="false" cacheModelsEnabled="true" enhancementEnabled="true" /> <transactionManager type="JDBC" > <dataSource type="JNDI"> <property name="DataSource" value="java:comp/env/@isds.datasource.name @"/> </dataSource> </transactionManager> .......
