Thanks Eric.
If you're seeing issues similar to those Eric describes, also try building iBATIS from the trunk. It should help draw out the problem because we've removed the object pools for sessions, requests etc. So where you may have seen a deadlock before, now you should see a big nasty exception from your app server that tells you that you've had a connection open too long, or that you forgot to close a connection. Or perhaps it will hang too, who knows. :-) I apologize for not getting a release out yet. It's simply a matter of finding the time in an insanely busy year already! I'd suggest holding a vote for which iBATIS developer should do the build, but I have a feeling I'd win (i.e. lose). ;-) Cheers, Clinton From: Eric Floehr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: February-05-08 8:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Ibatis throttle - possible deadlock (ibatis 2.2, 2.3) All, I wanted to let you know my experience with this issue. We saw the same issues and deadlocks that others have reported, especially under heavy loads. As Clinton suggested, we looked to verify we were using the proper transaction pattern (start, commit, end) in the right try.catch.finally blocks. It was there that we noticed within the transaction block a bit of code that took a lot of time to run and did not need to be in the transaction block. Removing that code to outside the transaction and thus tightening up the transaction block really helped. Just FYI in case anyone else is seeing this issue. Regards, Eric
