Hi, You can reduce this problem to a very good extent by working on following tags in your web.xml:
<parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>100</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>20</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>minIdle</name> <value>10</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>700</value> </parameter> You can get the details from Tomcat Documentation.

The context xml is as follows .. <ResourceParams name="pool/connectDB"> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory</value> </parameter> <!--MySQL - connection related params--> <parameter> <name>initialSize</name> <value>10</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>100</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>20</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>minIdle</name> <value>10</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>700</value> </parameter> .... After a while i get error from MySQL 'Too Many connections' When i try mysql>show processlist; from mysql command it shows me more than 100 processes. But almost all with 'State' Sleep. I am properly closing all conneections/reultsets. The mysql process state also shows the 'Sleep' but then still why it is not getting reused? It seems everytime new connection is taken from mysql and existing connection is not re-used. Is there any setting am i missing? Thanks in advance, regards Manisha __________________________________ Yahoo!
