Hey Michael and Robert, Ok so i got the difference between context and connection. So how can i close all connections before closing an application, a servlet or a portlet? My main problem here is that on each deploy of a new web application the connections from former deployments stay on (like memory leaks), and i need to close them or at least use one pool for the whole site.
I was thinking about putting the Context on the HTTPSession of the application server or making a context that is used permanently by the server... Any ideas how to do it on liferay or tomcat?
