So I finally put my old Cayenne 1.x-upgraded to 3.x app into production. A couple of hours later, I got this error [1]. Note that my app synchronizes requests so only one thread should ever be running Cayenne requests at a time.
My app has run for years with only a single connection. My 3.x app ran in development for a year before it was deployed to production. Is this a fluke? I did raise my connection pool to 3 the next day, but I don't want to arbitrarily assign a higher number and think I've magically solved the problem. Does having three active server runtimes affect this? Before, my query qualifiers were all handled inside the main runtime, but now I have three separate runtimes configured. My guess is that all three runtimes share the same pool, so this is probably not the cause. And since the problem happened a couple hours later and the three runtimes were being used well before that without an error, I'd say experience bears this out.
