Firewall connection timeout is a very common problem but that's only when the connection is idle (low load).
You have database specific solutions for this. (but the checkOnBorrow will do just fine)


If you think there is an overload then you can monitor the number of active/idle connections. Normally the checkOnBorrow shouldn't be a problem.

I assume you are using DBCP 1.1. In the latest nightly build there is one performance improvement related to the validationQuery. If you have a performance bottleneck with the validationQuery and it goes away when you don't do any tests then you can try a nightly build.

Thanks very much Dirk,
I am closing connections every where. I am trying to
find leaks but could not as our testing environment
works fine performance and other.
In production We are seeing performance issues which
are effecting customers.

Here are my speculations --
1)Firewal may be dropping connections--
2)Some other source creating stale(bad) connections
but Connection pool not dropping
3)Some connections are Active for long time (Not
source code issue -Might be some other reason.

We are using validationQuery along with checkOnReturn
and CheckOnBorrow(I forgot exact names)..

1)I do I check leaks --
2)Does check on Borrow causes over load on connection
pool
3)If checkonreturn is there then why
checkOnBorrow(Whats the reason for using both--Unless
there is huge difference)...(I know one validates when
connection is returned and one when connection is
borrowed.

Some time A bad connection which is Active in terms of
COnnection POol will become stale connection by
Firewall after 60Min and then will be returned to
connection pool and validated and then eventually
dropped as validation fails..

Do we have to wait for 60 min till firewall returns or
is there any way we can validate in between(DB
perspective atleast)..

Sorry for asking too many questions ..I appreciate
your(ANy ones) time and help.

Thanks a bunch..

The parameter you are looking for is
"validationQuery" and then enable one of the connection validation tests.


This only helps when you are getting SQLExceptions
about broken connections.


If you run out of connection because they aren't
closed everywhere then you have to look for the leak.

Hi,
Thanks for information in advance.
I am running into an issue where some bad

connections


are hanging not getting closed and eventually

going


away once I restart the server.

Problem is some times there are too many effecting
performance.

I am closing all the connections in the code.
I am using poolingDataSource.

Is there any parameter in DBCP which will

determine


whether an ACTIVE connection is valid or not and

then


if not close the connection without effecting

other


Active connections...

Some thing like Using For How much time this
connection is Active..

Thanks for the help.
Regards..RAJ
