Connection problems

[Marl Atkins]

Hi:

I'm having problems connecting to the database sometimes.
I'm pretty sure it has to do with not successfully closing it.
If I reboot the problem seems to disappear.

I've got a line in there that should close it down (taken from Francios
Orsini's demo) in the stop proc of the Applet.
I'm hoping that  will help but I'd like to know a little more about the
rules of connection.

How many concurrent connections are allowed?
Is there anything I can do to further ensure that it closes when the applet
dies?

The code I'm using to close is:

public void stop()
    {
        DBaseConn.closeDBase();
    }

public void closeDBase()
    {       
        try 
        {
            DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:derby:;shutdown=true");

        } 
        catch (Exception e) 
        {            
            //Shutdown was already completed
        } finally 
        {
            oCn = null;
            ds = null;
        }       
        System.gc();
    }
