If you want to make sure the connection is closed/release in any case, put the close() call inside a finally clause:
Connection connection = DatabaseManager.getConnection(); try { ....//jdbc work. } finally { DatabaseManager.closeConnection(connection); } This way, whatever happens inside the try block, you are sure closeConnection will be called (think about an exception being thrown in the try block...) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
