I'm using DBCP from inside Tomcat to connect to a database. Between Tomcat and database server is a firewall.
And this firewall is causing problems: when a database connection is idle for some time, the firewall will block this connection, and not drop the connection.
Therefore DBCP thinks the connection is still open and alive and tries to use it. And as the connection is blocked, DBCP will wait eternally until something happens.
My question: Is there any way to configure DBCP to test connections regularly and refresh them if necessary? Or to set a timeout when a connection is declared dead and dropped?
Thanks, Johannes
