Hello,

I have seen several topics in the JCA forum discussing different issues, which 
could be solved by the re-authentication feature. I guess in our situation this 
is also the case.

We are using a third party JCA resource adapter providing connections to the 
CORBA services. The CORBA services have different interfaces. We have to 
authenticate the user requesting a connection and using then the  
authentication mechanism:

  | <security-domain-and-application>
  | 

which causes that the connections are pooled by the Subject and their types. 
Now regarding the connection pool size. For example:
500 application users (different identities)
70 different connection types
20 max pool size (each sub-pool)
1 min pool size (each sub-pool)

The result of this scenario is that the pool can grow up to 500*70*20=700000 
connections.

Well, at the moment our pool size do not achieve this level, but the number of 
application users tend to grow.

Considering this scenario the re-authentication would allow to have just one 
common pool for all connections and re-use them for every identity.

I would very appreciate if the re-authentication is considered by the pooling 
implementation in JBoss. Since JCA does not restrict the number of the 
types/interfaces of the connections provided by a resource adapter, I can 
imagine that there could be many other resource adapters and their users, which 
will surely benefit from this feature.

Thanks and kind regards,
Dmitri
