Has anyone successfully used JPAVariablePersister on Sql Server?  The quick 
hits are we are running MSSQL 2008, and after introducing JPAVariablePersister 
(which is described very well in 
http://blog.athico.com/2009/09/drools-flow-variable-persistence.html) every 
time I run my test case, the DB becomes non-responsive, returning from any JDBC 
pings:

    java.sql.SQLException: I/O Error: DB server closed connection.

You can't even connect through MSSQL Management Studios, looks like RPC service 
has gone down.  Haven't been able to do much troubleshooting yet (slow going 
when you need to get a DBA to reboot your sever every time.)

I've already tested out the JPAKnowledgeService with some success.  Setting up 
my session with the following code,  I can see the SessionInfo, 
ProcessInstanceInfo, ProcessInstanceInfo_eventTypes tables storing data, looks 
pretty solid, and I can grab the processes again.

    EntityManagerFactory emf = 
Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("org.drools.persistence.jpa");
    env = KnowledgeBaseFactory.newEnvironment();
    env.set(EnvironmentName.ENTITY_MANAGER_FACTORY, emf);
    session = JPAKnowledgeService.newStatefulKnowledgeSession(knowledgeBase, 
null, env);

    Map<String, Object> parameterMap = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    parameterMap.put("claim", claim);
    processInstance = session.startProcess(CLAIMS_DEMO, parameterMap);

I want to store my variable separately though, as we already have them as 
Hibernate DTOs.  So I added the following code, as well as adding 
JPAVariablePersister to my persistence.xml.

    VariablePersistenceStrategyFactory.getVariablePersistenceStrategy()
            .setPersister("javax.persistence.Entity",
                    
"org.drools.persistence.processinstance.persisters.JPAVariablePersister");

The code appears to run through.  This time, I can see data in  the 
SessionInfo, ProcessInstanceInfo, ProcessInstanceInfo_eventTypes tables, as 
well as additional data in VariableInstanceInfo, and my two entities (Claim, 
which has a List of Role.)  The data looks pretty good, and my process logs hit 
the expected nodes.
 
Anyway, I'll post more as I learn it.  Let me know if anyone else is running 
into this.
 
Thanks!
 
Bill
