I am using lambdaprobe to monitor the datasource and
it shows that many maxActive connections for each
webapp deployed. So the total possible max connections
to the database would become maxActive times number of
webapps. But I would like to confirm that as I have
had occasional database connectivi
I think that's the MaxActive connections on the database.
Depending on how you configure the datasource it will be available for one
or all webapps.
The tomcat docs have a good explanation, here you got the link for tomcat
5.5.
