Here's some blurbiage for 7.0 but it's the same thing in 6.1: http://www.bea.com/products/j2ee_wp_design7.shtml
"WebLogic Server can use a single connection pool to service multiple, simultaneous database requests. The number and length of database transactions that use the pool largely determine the efficiency of the connection pool. For non-transactional database requests, WebLogic Server can allocate and reallocate a connection very quickly, so that another client can use the same connection. However, for transactional requests, a connection becomes 'reserved' by the client for the duration of the transaction." For example, we had one datasource for read-only JDBC queries and another for our EJBs and update queries. DefaultDS and DefaultDSX type thing. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Jencks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, February 19, 2003 8:18 AM Subject: Re: [JBoss-user] Dynamic JCA pool size change problem > On 2003.02.19 10:07 Rod Macpherson wrote: > > Assigned an RFE to you David: > > Thanks.
