Hontvari Jozsef commented on DBCP-329:
--------------------------------------
That is true. But I still feel the message is not right. The original exception
which was hidden by the "Already closed" exception is relatively clear
(assuming that you know the less then ideal MySQL behaviour regarding closing
unused connections.) I guess what happens here is that when in a previous
operation an exception was thrown, DBCP declares that the connection is closed.
There is two cases, depending on how DBCP works:
1) If it does try to connect the database on the close() operation, then it
should throw the real exception. Like the hidden exception:
jdbc4.CommunicationsException with message "Communications link failure". This
is as informative as it could be (it is the responsibility of MySQL that it
cannot be more informative).
2) If I am right, it does not connect the database on close(). It already knows
that it was itself who declared that the connection was broken, and it already
thrown an exception in a previous operation. We could very well say that DBCP
was the one who "closed" the broken connection. In this case it should not
throw another exception. I think that is in line with the intent of the Java
specification, and DBCP has all necessasary informations which allows this
behaviour.
If we look at from another viewpoint I think this usage pattern should work
(and it worked before):
void fn() throws SQLException
{
Connection connection = ....
try {
connection.doSomething();
} finally {
connection.close();
}
}
Currently this throws the misleading "Already closed." exception instead of the
more informative jdbc4.CommunicationsException.

> Key: DBCP-329
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-329
> Project: Commons Dbcp
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4
> Environment: MySQL
> Reporter: Hontvari Jozsef
>
> After upgrading to 1.4 I see such exceptions logged:
> java.sql.SQLException: Already closed.
> at
> org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolableConnection.close(PoolableConnection.java:114)
> at
> org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolingDataSource$PoolGuardConnectionWrapper.close(PoolingDataSource.java:191)
> ...
> This should never happen. According to the Connection.close() javadoc:
> "Calling the method close on a Connection object that is already closed is a
> no-op."
>
> Moreover, I am pretty sure that our code does not close the connection twice.
> But because the close() is called in a finally block, it is possible that
> this exception hides another exception. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it,
> even though it occurs regularly.
