I started doing a little testing on the Tyrex pools on my local machine,
and it doesn't appear to actually be pooling the connections. In a 1
minute period, I managed to get 118 hits (none of the connection lasted
for the entire minute - they lasted at most 5 seconds) and I checked my
outgoing connections, and had 128 (I'm assuming my stress-tester didn't
count 10 connections that were active when I told it to stop.)
Anyhow, the point is, every time I request a connection from the pool,
I'm getting a brand new connection - not a recycled one. I'm calling
close() on the connection in a finally block (and it is getting called).
Is there something else I have to do on the DataSource to ensure that
the connection gets recycled properly? Or am I missing some
configuration in my server.xml?
