Hi Jeff, >I will implement storing the connection in > the session with the log > out killing the connection.
what happens if the user never logs out? then your Tomcat might end up with quite a few open connections that it cannot close and the only way to close such connections would be to restart Tomcat. I guess you'll also want to implement the connection closure when session times out/invalidated (using javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionListener).... Kind regards, Sasha. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, 10 October 2005 3:48 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: using a datasource connection pool resource with username and password supplied by user Thanks Doug and Chuck, I suspected as much re. the connection pool. This sort of negates the value of it a little (for me anyway). My original plan was to go with saving the connection to the session once it was established but I had read somewhere that connections are not 'serializable' and therefore the garbage cleanup in tomcat may kill the connection unexpectedly?!.? Has anyone used session tracking to store database connections? If so, has anything bad happened? Doug to answer your question "How many users are there going to be on the system at once and can the system handle that many open connections?"... I anticipate that the production version will have from 20 - 30 people updating information (in different cities ) and possibly 50 or so browsing the database for information. The backend database will be ORACLE 9i running in MS Server 2003 on an IBM server. In the pooled connection implementation I allowed for 150 concurrent users. I think oracle running on a pretty beefy application server should be able to handle it. The web server box will also be MS server 2003 on an older style server so I suppose the only scary part will be weaknesses (if there are any) in Tomcat itself. Anyway, I will implement storing the connection in the session with the log out killing the connection. Any comments or gotchas you know about would be useful. Jeffery S.
