Clinton,
Got it - that seems logical. I'll post my results to this thread when I get it working.

Thanks!

In that case, you could set up a ping/validation query.  Either in
SimpleDataSource, DBCP or your app server.  No need to do it yourself.

Clinton,
    Option A - it always fails when first requested or else succeeds.  I
run several (6 I think) queries per cycle and once connected never have
a problem.  Here is the jdbc url for giggles.
 JDBC.ConnectionURL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION=(LOAD_BALANCE=YES)
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=fqdn1.domain.sun.com)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=fqdn2.domain.sun.com)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=fqdn3.domain.sun.com)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=fqdn4.domain.sun.com)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=MYSERVICENAME)))

It always works fine when I am testing it in netbeans and regularly
fails when I excute it from the jar not that it should make any difference.

Does the driver always fail fast upon requesting it from the data
source?  Or is it possible that even after executing 3 of 5 statements
successfully, it could fail on the 4th?

 Hi, I have a flaky oracle 11i grid db that I have to connect to.
Sometimes it works and sometimes not.  I think this is a problem with
the tns setup on some of the nodes, but I have no control over any of
that.  So, I've written a looping connector for the database which
returns a jdbc Connection when it's finished.  Is there a way I can pass
this to iBatis?  I'm only using sqlMaps and have no DAO to speak of.
I'd like to be able to plug this into a SqlMapClient object.

Thanks for any assistance guys!
Diran
