Your (and Chuck's, off-list) comments have made me realize that my statement was pretty stupid. :) Of course the OP can still use JNDI-based DataSource storage, probably even managed by Tomcat. Instead of calling DataSource.getConnection(), he should use DataSource.getConnection(username, password). I don't know how this use of the DataSource jives with Tomcat's pooled connections, and how the settings like maxActive, etc. affect the behavior, but that can be easily observed through trial and error. I would hope that DataSource.getConnection(username, password) would actually give you a new, unpooled connection. In that case, setting maxActive="0" might actually work. The OP didn't say how he was actually obtaining connections, so it's not clear if it does or does not. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklyBhwACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCcAACeOAmGl60tqT3ZaLLFmNfEAdQJ 2vAAn17oiiRHLO8C0OxTJeIOjCCdSM0K =iP4x -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
