Sorry, I included an older context.xml than the one I've been testing with. That one has 30 for maxActive (everything else is the same).
Thank you very much for your replies Chuck, I think you gave me plenty to think about and play with to resolve my problem. Thanks again!

I've never used the Attunity drivers, but the above looks ok as far as I can tell; perhaps someone else might see a problem. You might want to consider adding these: removeAbandoned="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="60" logAbandoned="true" That will tell you if the pool thinks you're returning connections or not. Change the timeout setting (in seconds) to whatever you think is appropriate. > so you're saying that the pool will never close any of the connections > due to them not being used? Correct; that's normally left up to the database. > Here's the block I use: > finally > { > // cleanup > if (cs != null) cs.close(); > if (conn != null) conn.close(); > } > Where cs = the statement. If the cs.close() throws an exception, you won't close the connection. Do you only ever have one statement per connection? And depending on the location of the finally block relative to the rest of the code, you might not even go through there. > I don't close the result set as closing the > statement is supposed to do that. Regardless, it's good practice to clean up DB resources explicitly, preferably as soon as you're done with them. > Maybe this timeout value is what I'm looking for? Depends on what you want; for a production environment, you never want the connections to close. They're cheap to keep around but expensive to create. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
