Hi everybody, I've servlets accessing different data sources. One of the data source is not very reliable and drops from the network from time to time. When this data-source is not reachable, it takes about 30 seconds for each call to DriverManager.getConnection() to throw an exception. And impatient retries from users make matters worse. All subsequent DriverManger.getConnection() calls get queued up (since the method is synchronised), even for those accessing other data-sources. Is there any way I can reduce the time-out for the getConnection() call in such a case of communications failure? DriverManager.setLoginTimeout() doesn't help. Or any suggestions on how I can handle this 'unreliable' source without seriously affecting the getConnection()'s to the other data-sources? Thanks. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
