Hi, I'm trying to build a small pilot application with Struts. My ultimate goal is a dynamic web application with intensive use of database. My database is Oracle 8. The problem is following: in 'LoginAction' I set up a database connection (java.sql.Connection variable) with Oracle database. I "save" it in the User session bean as a bean-variable. Then I test it in a jsp-page. Everything seems to work: the variable containing the database connection is created and put into User bean (something like ...setConnection(connection)). The first time the jsp-page works well: the connection comes from "conn=user.get_connection()", I can send a select-query to the database and display the outcome etc. But if I refresh the jsp-page, then at a certain moment an error message is displayed: java.sql.SQLException: Closed Connection I undestand that the connection gets somehow lost in the session bean. This happens especially when I test with two parallel sessions (one from IE and another from Netscape). Can anyone help me? Where could the connection go lost? Thanks, George. P.S I have to save a connection with every session because this way I can get user info from the database and administer database privileges. I can't use just a connection pool and get a connection from there every time I need something from the database. I have to lock records, maintain transactions etc., so every user/session needs to have an individual database connection. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
