Shouldn't your connection URL look something like this: jdbc:mysql//db:3306/apacheSSO instead of jdbc:mysql://db/apacheSSO? Not sure if this means anything, since you say it's already working... It just looks strange.

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 performing authentication com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException: Communications link failur e during commit().

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 -- what's puzzlin' you, is the nature of my game gpgp-fp: 79A84FA526807026795E4209D3B3FE028B3170B2 gpgp-key available @ http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de:11371 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
