Thanks for the info Pontus.

It seems the second non-transactional pool fixed the connections leak, no new exceptions
since yesterday so far. I gues the bindToTransaction was causing it.

I noticed something strange today: i left the server running since yesterday night until today morning, we saved many documents in the repository, no problems so far. Browsed the Repo with no issues, all documents are there, everything is fine.


After a while we couldn't retrieve the documents from repository.
Let's say the tree is something like this:

rootNode
    ->  App1
                ->someCategory1
                             ->Year1
                                        ->Month1
                                                        ->Item1
                             ->Year2
                ->someCategory2
   ->  App2

the log says PAthNotFoundException: Path 'App1' not found.This happens in this code:

Node nodoRaiz = session.getRootNode();
Node nodoApp1 = nodoRaiz.getNode("App1");

i then restart Glassfish, now i can find 'App1' node , but not it's child nodes. And i know
they're there. It's like the link between them got corrupted or something.

Any experience with possible data corruption?

Regards,
                Manuel.

I'm not sure but on some places it is stated that by default Glassfish has
not transaction timeout for
EJB:s. If that still is true then maybe you could try to set a transaction
timeout for the EJB that is
fetching the files to see if
1. The Jackrabbit session/connection is closed when the transaction timeouts
2. Try to figure out why the transaction in your EJB isn't ended correctly

I see that you use
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW) and normally
I use TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED in EJB:s. This will make sure that
the method/methods are
included in a transaction and that a new transaction isn't started for each
method call (if you call the
methods from other EJB:s or using the sessionContext.getBusinessObject() to
invoke local methods).

But there's of course some cases where you actually want to use
TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW
and this is maybe the case with your class/method.

I have set transaction support to "Xa-Transaction" (In glassfish
properties) ,
i believe what i'm using is CMT, container managed transactions,
so glassfish is in charge of handling connections and kill them,
invalidate them or mark them as available
once the transaction has commited.

I discovered something interesting: when saving files everything went
smooth,
save thousands with no problem, seeing in glassfish monitoring console how
many hundred
of connections are created, used, and disposed within seconds. Absolutely
no errors.

But when i get stuff from the repository, that's when connections begin to
get leaked.

That's make me think that since there's no transaction commited the
connection stays open.
I tried to retrieve files from jackrabbit outside of a transactional
context and inside too, with no luck, same
PoolingException / out of connections error.

My service to reach jackrabbit, the place where the transactional context
begins are annotated like this:
@LocalBean
@Stateless
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRES_NEW)


I smell that's precisely the problem: since i have
"bindSessionToTransaction=true",
if i try to reach repository inside or outside any transaction, doesn't
matter, since
there's really no commit at all, connections will stale.

I'm going to try doing a second connection pool with
"bindSessionToTransaction=false",
using it only to retrieve stuff from jackrabbit.

I'll tell you how it goes soon, thanks a lot for your responses,
cheerz,
Manuel.

What are you using to handle the transactions when you invoke the
Jackrabbit JCA connector? The reason I'm asking is that the flag
"bindSessionToTransaction=true" might maybe be an indication that you
have
transactions that for some reason never are committed.

All 32 connections are taken  already.

Hello, thanks for your response Pontus,
i have set a maximun of concurrent connections, 32.

I understand that i set a maximum number o
sessions/connections/transactions,
in my case on glassfish.
These is handled by the jca connector y conjunction with the glassfish
server/container.

Once this maximun is reached, should i ask for another new connection,
the connector/connection pool would wait
until one of the bussy connections is freed. There is a wait timeout
for
this, once the time is elapsed the connection pool
   would return an error message, saying that no connection is available.
It's perfectly logical.

In my case this is happening, i get an exception "Connections in use are
equal to max-pool-size value and max-wait-time has elapsed":

The thing is, once i reach this state it remains the same, i can wait 10
minutes or 5 hours, when it dies, it stays that way no matter how long i
leave it "to recover connections".
The only solution is to shut down server and start it again, that way
everything works great again.

One other thing that seems strange is the fact that i can work
generating
files in number of thousands in very short time, let's say 2000 files
in 3
minutes. That may indicate
that the time settings for the connection pool are okay, i mean, i have
1
minute of max wait time before saying there're no more free connections,
almost a thousand files can be fully
processed and saved within 1 minute.

That's what leaves me perplexed. The other thing is that mysql
connection
pools have the very same / carbon copy settings and they work ok, never
run
off connections or died this way.

I know files are way different, requires more work than db registers,
I/O
is the most time consuming and slow op of them all. Maybe within a
certain
amount of time the file caching gets
bottlenecked and that's what causes the collapse?

Have you verified that it isn't the number of concurrent
sessions/transactions that is causing the problem? If that is the
problem
you would probably only encounter it when you have approximately 33 or
more
file operations executing at the same time.

Hello,

       ... 120 more

Our setup/context is the following:

VM: java 7 (1.7.0_101)
container: Glassfish 3.1.2.2
main framework for webapp: struts 2
DB (mysql) persistence manager: Hibernate 4.2.19.Final

Jackrabbit stuff/versions:
jackrabbit-core 2.14.4
jcr 2.0
OCM: jackrabbit-ocm 2.0.0
Connector: jackrabbit-jca-2.14.4 (This one is deployed as a connector
in
glassfish, associated with a connection pool )

The configuration for JCA connector is the following:

Connection definition: javax.jcr.Repository

Initial and minimum pool size: 8 Connections
Maximum pool size: 32 Connections
Switch Pool size: 2 connections
Activity Timeout 300  seconds
Max Wait Timeout: 60000  miliseconds
Transaction Support: XATransaction

Matching Connections: Yes.

bindSessionToTransaction: True

It seems to be caused randomnly, as we're able to produce and store a
couple thousand of files within minutes with no crashes
(every file is stored within a transaction and with a single Session
to
the repository). Should the pool be out of connections,
it should happen immediately i think (???).

So, if someone has any indication/clues it would be greatly
appreciated,
thanks in advance, best regards,
Manuel.
