Hi.
Don't "top post".

Apparently we use Oracle as our data store while the solution you mentioned
is for mysql.

And did you check if the Oracle JDBC driver provides such an option ?


Is there a way tomcat can provide a notification after all its retries to
the database server have failed? This way at least I can create a new
connection pool configured to a different database server in order to
simulate a automatic connection failover from the application side. I
understand that this step would require time for the retries and creation
of new pool.

I am not a Java specialist, but I would imagine that at least your application would get some kind of I/O exception when that happens on a read or a write.
Can you not catch that and do whatever you need to then ?
After all, even if the driver itself handles the primary case, there would still be a possibility that even your backup database server would also be unreachable, no ?


Thanks.

Hello,
       I would like to know if the tomcat jdbc pool (7.0.34+) provides
connection failover capabilities i.e. to transparently close all the open
database connections and switch to a another database server on an
planned/unplanned database server outage event.
       I read through the tomcat documentation but didn't find any
details
related to this. If this feature is not supported are there any
recommended
alternatives and any future plans to add this feature to the jdbc pool?
You might want to see if your JDBC driver will handle this for you.  I
know that some do, like MySQL [1].
