Apparently we use Oracle as our data store while the solution you mentioned is for mysql.
Is there a way tomcat can provide a notification after all its retries to the database server have failed? This way at least I can create a new connection pool configured to a different database server in order to simulate a automatic connection failover from the application side. I understand that this step would require time for the retries and creation of new pool. Thanks.
