Brian and others, Good information. Thanks. What happens with result sets if they don't get closed? Do they live on forever as memory leaks, or do they get cleaned up by GC when the object referencing them goes out of scope? If a result set is left open, does it prevent the connection from getting successfully closed?
Thx. JWM -----Original Message----- From: Brian Cook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 3:38 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tracking Datasource Connection Usage?

And log a trace of what code called a connection that was never closed. 2. Use a finally block to close all of your Resultsets and connections. This will insure they are closed even if your code throws an exception.
