Hello, >Marco, please tell us what winds up happening with your app. I'm now >very curious.
Well, I m using, as I said, mysql connector 3.0.11, with mysql 4.1 alpha & hibernate together. My app is running on tomcat 5.0 I m using hibernate 2.1. I haven't configured any connection pools on Tomcat, but I m using hibernate built it connection pool. I m leaving my app running all the time, couple of days ago I noticed that When I tried to connect to it from work, I got exception. After, I went home, checked what was wrong (something I found out already Couple of months ago, without using hibernate, but when I was still using Mysql).. I don't remember exactly where, but I found out htat usually after 9 hrs The connection to mysql drops (dunno if only with tomcat, or with something else). So, I tried this <property name="connection.autoReconnect">true</property> <property name="connection.autoReconnectForPools">true</property> <property name="connection.is-connection-validation-required">true</property> still didn't work so I tried to add autoReconnect=true to JDBC URL and run following tests - connecting after 1 hour being idle - everything ok - connecting after 3 hours being idle - everything ok - connecting after 7 hrs being idle - everything ok. I thought I have solved the problem, but between today and yesterday, I left App running after 13 hours being idle.... and problem appeared again. And that's when I posted the problem...... Thanx 4 any feedback Regards marco --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
