Let me first set up my situation. On my server, I have two webapps running, webapp A and webapp B. Webapp A uses JDBC Thin driver to contact an Oracle database at remote location 1. Webapp B uses JDBC Thin driver to contact an Oracle database at remote location 2.
If the internet connection at remote location 1 goes down, the attempt to connect to that database has the expected result of a connection to that IP in the SYN_SENT state in the netstat output on the server. While this connection is in the SYN_SENT state, any requests to webapp B that need to call the other database at location 2 which is still up and running are put on hold. Visitors to that site are left staring at a blank screen until the first connection from webapp A to location 1 times out. Seeing as how these are 2 seperate webapps connecting to 2 seperate remote locations, I did not expect the behavior to occur in a fashion where one will block the other. The behavior I expected was that they would operate independantly of each other, and webapp B would continue to work at a normal pace no matter what is occurring with webapp A. Am I looking at this wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Sign up for SBC Yahoo!
