I am initializing the Pool as below. private void initialize(ConnectionPoolParameters oParams) { GenericObjectPool oPool = new GenericObjectPool(null); oPool.setMaxActive(oParams.getMaxSize()); oPool.setMaxIdle (oParams.getMinSize ()); oPool.setMinIdle(oParams.getMinSize()); oPool.setMaxWait(oParams.getTimeout()); oPool.setTestOnBorrow(true); setWhenExhaustedAction(oParams.getExhaustAction()); BasicDataSource oDataSource = new BasicDataSource(); oDataSource.setDriverClassName(oParams.getDriver()); oDataSource.setUrl(oParams.getJdbcUrl()); oDataSource.setValidationQuery(oParams.getConnectionTest()); ConnectionFactory oFactory = new DataSourceConnectionFactory(oDataSource); PoolableConnectionFactory oPoolFactory = new PoolableConnectionFactory(oFactory, this, null, oParams.getConnectionTest (), false, true); _oDataSource = new PoolingDataSource(this); _bEnabled = true; } It seems that BasicDataSource creates its own Pool and PoolableConnectionFactory and it has the default settings of the Pool (maxSize=8). So If I specified 30 as the max connections it still thinks 8 as the max connections. Am I initializing the pool properly? --Tushar

I am initializing the GeneriConnectionPool using the following parameters MaxActive=30 MaxIdle=20 MinIdle=20 MaxWait=1000 TestOnBorrow=true ActionWhenExhasuted =2(GROW) I try to test the connection pool by using the following code. List<Connection> liCon = new ArrayList<Connection>(); for(i=0 ; i < 10 ; i++) { Connection oCon = oPool.getConnection(); liCon.add(oCon); } The call to oPool.getConnection() gets blocked indefinitely when I try to get the 9th connection. Am I missing something? Any ideas Thanks Tushar Dave
