Your code and config below look fine to me, conns seem to be returned OK to pool as you say. Sounds to me like the pool itself leaves the database with hanging conns in the pool when it goes down.
When you say "If I deploy/undeploy several times" do you stop and restart TC between undeploy and redeploy? If so, might be worth trying to see whether the problem still happens if you stop and restart TC cleanly rather than redeploying the webapp while TC is running? Might help narrow down the cause slightly. Might be worth reporting to bugzilla? > -----Original Message----- > From: Bogdan Calmac [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday 26 October 2005 02:18 > To: users@tomcat.apache.org > Subject: DBCP connection leak after undeploy > > > I've written a simple web application consisting of a servlet which > does a select from a table and displays the result.
