Hi List,

I installed Lambda Probe to debug a problem that I'm having with a Liferay
portal (5.1.2):

Tomcat: 6.0.26 with dbcp
JDK: 1.6.0_18
DB: Oracle 10.2.0.4 (ojdbc14)
RHEL 5.4 64Bits

When launching a stress test with JMeter, Lambda Probe indicates that my
connection pool (150 connections (I know..extremely high)) is out of free
connections (150 Busy and Established). However, when I do a netstat, there
are only 20-30 established connections to the database.

I would rather believe netstat over Probe, however when Lambda Probe
indicates that my pool is out of connections I noticed that the stress test
is going extremely slow and several requests are failing because of a
response time out (60secs). (The Tomcat connection pool (500 threads) gets
filled as well)

Why could it be that Probe indicates 150 established connections and netstat
only 20-30?
According to the DBA, the DB is not stressed at all.

As soon as the stress test stops, the pool recovers itself. Netstat and
Lambda numbers (idle connections) are now exactly the same.

I know it's extremely (if not impossible) to indicate me what the problem
might be. I just would like to know how I should proceed to investigate this
problem, as I'm currently out of ideas.


Thanks in advance!
