Hi All,
I'm running Tomcat-8.-5.15 with following Oracle datasource definition: <Resource name="jdbc/idpdatasource" auth="Container" type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="xxx" password="yyy" driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver" url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@zzz:1521:SID" maxTotal="10" maxIdle="10" maxWaitMillis="10000" removeAbandonedOnBorrow="true" removeAbandonedTimeout="120" logAbandoned="true" validationQuery="select sysdate from dual" testOnBorrow="true"/> Tomcat is using the ojdbc6.jar driver library to connect to an Oracle 12c DB instance. Initially this datasource declaration seems to work fine. However when resuming a HTTP session after a period of inactivity the database pool seems to return stale DB connections. The log file shows entries like: [IDP] 2017-07-20 11:28:35,655 [T8N2TP1-13] DEBUG $--$ (be.xm.base.database.DBPoolManager:141) - Connection: 502672209, URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@zzz:1521:SID, UserName=xxx, Oracle JDBC driver [IDP] 2017-07-20 11:28:35,656 [T8N2TP1-13] DEBUG $--$ (org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl:221) - opened session at timestamp: 15005429156 [IDP] 2017-07-20 11:28:35,657 [T8N2TP1-13] DEBUG $--$ (org.hibernate.jdbc.AbstractBatcher:389) - about to open PreparedStatement (open PreparedStatements: 0, globally: 0) [IDP] 2017-07-20 11:28:35,657 [T8N2TP1-13] DEBUG $--$ (org.hibernate.jdbc.ConnectionManager:421) - opening JDBC connection [IDP] 2017-07-20 11:28:54,802 [T8N2TP1-13] DEBUG $--$ (org.hibernate.jdbc.AbstractBatcher:424) - select this_.PERSOONID as PERSOONID2_0_, this_.rrn as rrn2_0_ from APP_ID_P_RRN.PERSOON this_ where (this_.rrn like ?) There is almost 20 seconds between opening the JDBC connection and effectively sending the SQL query. Now the standard HTTP connector in Tomcat is configured with a connectionTimeout=20000 which in this situation will cause the request to fail. Why does opening the JDBC connection takes so long? Is this an indication that the DBConnection returned by the DBCP is stale and if so why didn't the pool cleaned up this connection itself?
