do you think that maxwait should be tuned? and you can also monitor live session in oracle by query db,what does it tell you (both before 20s and after 20s)? and by using oracle 11g driver(use ojdbcXX_g.jar with log enabled), you can turn on logging for driver and have a look when does the request of opening connection and closing connection happened ? is that opening and closing after 20s ? or right after hit of login button ? if right after hitting button,then the problem might be configuration of pool and db session handling,if after 20s,then put Thread.getcurrentthread.printstack (something like this) in code befor code hitting db,so that you know what is the code doing at that time.
here is the link for how to turn on logging fo ojdbc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/java.111/b31224/diagnose.htm#CIAIDFIC On Wed, Sep 5, 2012 at 8:03 AM, David A.
