Mike, > I don't think we've done much (any) experimentation with slice + Tomcat's > connection pool. If a normal single-unit JPA can use Tomcat's connection pool, then a slice should as well (at least in theory:).
Slice does not make any special arrangements for connection, it merely uses JDBCConfiguration for each slice and somehow stitches up all the configurations into a single DistributedConfiguration so that the client (i.e. EntityManager or Broker) continue to function as if it is connected to a single (albeit virtual) database. So in case theory does not work in practice (which theories seldom do), the cost of repair is not high. Thanks for updating the manual. ----- Pinaki Poddar Chair, Apache OpenJPA Project -- View this message in context: http://openjpa.208410.n2.nabble.com/Slice-and-connection-pools-tp6643295p6649891.html Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
