This is a follow-up on the "out of connections" error I am periodically receiving from the production MySQL DBMS.
If you will recall, where we left it was that the evidence appears to support the interim conclusion that it is not Cayenne and that it may be the JDBC Driver or even MySQL. Actions Taken (based on previous input): I upgraded the connector to "mysql-connector-java-5.1.12" and the MySQL server was reluctantly upgraded by the webhost tech-person to "MySQL/5.0.88" (it appears they do not like MySQL 5.1 for some reason). I also perused my code for any "open" connections (which I am not sure that I have any control over since all DBMS connections are managed by Cayenne). Results: It appears that the problem continues. It even occurs with *very* light usage. There does not seem to be any obvious trigger. This causes sever symptoms of a request for a webpage taking 30-60 sec to load. (It appears that the 10 used-connections somehow magically allow the user to access after this 30-60 sec delay. ????????????) Question: I am pretty good at tracking down bugs, but this one is really difficult to devise a methodical plan to solve. My only idea right now is to monitor the Cayenne managed connection pool (with the hopes that I can monitor open connections and associate these connections with the cause). I have not been able to figure out how to do this via the Cayenne API. I am convinced that monitoring this connection pool will provide insight into a problem. Therefore: can you provide some example code of how to monitor open (and closed) connections in the Cayenne managed connection pool (so that I can display the result in a JSP)? Thanks, Joe
