Howdy, Tomcat uses DBCP by default for connection pooling, although you can use other packages as well. DBCP supports evicting idle connections with a configurable timeout on how long the connection must be idle before eviction. DBCP also supports configurable validation queries (checking for stale / bad connections). See DBCP API JavaDocs at http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dbcp/apidocs/index.html
See Tomcat & DBCP (and other) connection pool configuration examples at: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jndi-datasource-examples -howto.html#Database%20Connection%20Pool%20(DBCP)%20Configurations Yoav Shapira Millennium ChemInformatics >-----Original Message----- >From: Nadia Kunkov [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2003 12:39 PM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: connection pooling > > >Hi, I'm using Tomcat 4.0.4 and I'm wondering if setting up a connection >pooling will give me a capability to set up some time intervals according >to which my pool manager will check if connections are active and recycle >them if they are not.
