Yes, but it can��t be avoided as when the servlet found that db operation
throw exception (most likely that the exception is caused by connection
problem), it will try to re-connect to the database. It is this
re-connection takes very long time and browser can��t wait. My only
intention is try to inform the user there is db problem instead of browser
timeout.

timeout

                Dear ALL

                I encountered one serious problem with JDBC getConnection
that it waits very
                very long time (> 4 mins) when there is network problem
between web server
                and database server. Browsers can��t wait that long time and
timeout. But we
                want to print a message to user that database connection
error occurred

                I��m using classes12.zip thin client from Oracle.

                Does anyone know how to shorten the getConnection timeout ?

                This depends on your server really.

                Also, I would avoid trying to make and destroy db
connections on the fly
                as you seem to be doing, it causes the very problems you are
experiencing.
