Yes, this was very helpful thanks! I think my problem was I was not reading the entire response, as was discussed in the documentation you sent. I also set my timeouts using the examples.
I guess I have another question. How do I specify which connector to use? I believe the apache connector is being used implicitly since I've got that jar in my classpath, I say this cause the documentation says, "Adding a connector to your application is as simple as adding the archives of the chosen connector and its dependencies to the classpath." What if I don't want to use the apache connector, but I need those my libraries in my classpath for something else? Thanks for your help! -Dustin
