Requests for db pool resources will exceed Max Pool Size when EJBNetworkService 
beans are all busy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-4993
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-4993
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
    Affects Versions: 2.1.3, 2.2
         Environment: Linux and Windows XP
            Reporter: Eric Phetteplace


In production, I have 100 EJBNetworkService threads.  It works OK until there's 
a spike in traffic and all the threads are being used, and the 40 "max pool 
size" is ignored, and Geronimo makes 100's of DB connections.

In production, I am using an Oracle DB pool, so the DBAs aren't happy when my 
servers use up all the available server connections.

To recreate:

1.  Change config.xml and start Geronimo:
    <module name="org.apache.geronimo.configs/openejb/2.2-SNAPSHOT/car">
        <gbean name="EJBNetworkService">
            <attribute name="port">${OpenEJBPort + PortOffset}</attribute>
            <attribute name="host">${ServerHostname}</attribute>
            <attribute 
name="multicastHost">${MulticastDiscoveryAddress}</attribute>
            <attribute 
name="multicastPort">${MulticastDiscoveryPort}</attribute>
            <attribute name="clusterName">${ClusterName}</attribute>
            *<attribute name="threads">5</attribute>*
        </gbean>

2.  Reconfigure the jdbc/ArchiveDS DB Pool:
Max Pool Size: 3
Blocking Timeout: 1000
Idle Timeout: 1

3.  Install WAR 
4.  In web browser, go to http://localhost:8080/PoolTest/PoolTest.  Reload it 5 
times.  Take your time It should be fine, and will give you an error when the 
pool is maxed.
5.  In JMX Viewer, go to Geronimo MBeans, JCAConnectionManager, and pull up 
jdbc/ArchiveDS.  Note the connection count.  Looks good.
6.  Wait for the connection count to return to 0.
7.  In your browser, hold down F5 so the page reloads many times.
8.  Observe the connection count again.  It will be over connections.
9.  If you repeat 6-9 you can easily get > 20 connections.  I just held F5 for 
6 seconds and there are 60 connections.

I will attach WAR (I don't see an option on this screen).
