So if we end up with 40 idle connections with a setting of 30 maxIdle and 50 maxActive connections, does it mean that maxActive overrides maxIdle as far as idle connections are concerned (evictor is off)? We will reduce the maxActive setting as well as increase the timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis at which the evictor runs. Is there a way to log connection creation other than overriding BasicDataSource.getConnection?Also, not sure if there is a way to log how long the evictor runs? We are trying to see if application's poor performance is tied to the connection pool in any way. - Mehul
