Hi guys,

we're running Tomcta 5.5 and MySQL 5 (InnoDB), OS is Debian. Tomcat
authentication is done via a JDBC-Realm.

Every now and then FormAuthenticator is throwing the following Exception:

2007-06-04 01:41:02,762 ERROR           localSearch.log
[TP-Processor2]:        Exception

Since Google is my friend, I found this link telling me that MySQL's
ConnectorJ times out after 8 hours - *ouch*:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-j-usagenotes-troubleshooting.html#qandaitem-24-4-5-3-4

Developers there are told to use a connection-pool that can handle
this problem. They discourage anybody to use the
"autoconnect"-feature, since this might be unsafe and become
depricated soon.

Well, well, I'm using the following connection-pool within Tomcat:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context>
 <Resource
   auth="Container"
   description="DB Connection for SSO"
   name="jdbc/SSODS"
   type="javax.sql.DataSource"
   factory="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
   driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
   username="XXX"
   password="XXX"
   url="jdbc:mysql://db/apacheSSO"
   maxIdle="5"
   maxWait="10000"
   maxActive="10"
   validationQuery="SELECT 1"
   testOnBorrow="true"
   testWhileIdle="true"
   timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="10000"
   minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="28800"
   poolPreparedStatements="true"
   removeAbandoned="true"
   removeAbandonedTimeout="300"
   logAbandoned="false"/>
</Context>

Seems that this connection-pool does not handle this problem properly.

So:

Does any of you gyus have the same problem and has a working solution
fori t? I hate it to check the Tomcat's ERROR-log in the morning and
every day I see a file having a size > 0...

I'm wondering if I simply should add the autoconnect-feature (which is
such a bad, bad thing....) to my connection-pool...

Any oppinions on this appreciated

Gregor
