Hey Daniel, Thanks for the clarification. We shouldn't legitimately see 100 connections but we are trying to debug issues with our application that may be leaking connections, we are seeing strange behaviour that I will reference in a different post as to not confuse things. I will also try to get our app running on the latest version of tomcat if you think that will help Now that we know that maxActive dictates the overall size we can adjust our setting, thanks again!
