We have a > requirement where in, we could have a shared connection pool across > multiple Tomcat servers. Whoever came up with that requirement is seriously confused. Underlying every database connection is a TCP/IP connection, which by definition, is point-to-point. There is no possible way for a single TCP/IP connection to be usable other than by the two end points (discounting MITM hacks). At best, you could invent a proxy machine which would connect to the DB server, and each Tomcat server could connect to the proxy. The added complication, performance impact, and overall cost make this a completely nonsensical thing to do. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
