JDBC URL parameters and Geronimo console

[Andrus Adamchik]

Hi,

I have a MySQL Database Pool configured via Geronimo console (G.  
2.1.2). It works, except that sometimes I am getting mysql IO  
exceptions, which I attribute to the server closing pooled connections  
after some time of inactivity. This can be fixed by adding  
"autoReconnect=true" to the JDBC URL. Here is the problem though -  
Geronimo console database pool config screen does not support adding  
extra URL parameters (for MySQL anyways, I think it does for "other"  
type of databases). Any ideas how to work around it? Should I  
configure a generic DB pool?

Thanks,
Andrus
