Hello everybody,

I have had a strange problem on my system and i am wondering what is
happening when, from the browser we clic on
a new link while a stored procedure is being executed.

Let me explain.

We use WAS3.5 on the AS400, and the IBM Data Access Beans (com.ibm.db.*) in
our java code

I have done the following:

Connected to our system through the internet.

Information have been accessed into our database:
        - Get a connection from the pool
        - Call a stored procedure

Since it was long to get a response, i have decided to clic on another link.

what is happening with Websphere? What happens to the thread that was
handling my DB request?
At the end of the method that was called i have a try {} finally to make
sure the connection is always returned.

I have this question, because a colleague of mine get connected at the same
time, and got the result of my query !!!
I have checked all my code, it seems to be ok, completely thread safe. It is
the very first time we have this (since more than 1 year).

So i was wondering if the connection had been released properly or not, and
if the other user could have received my connection.

Is it possible that the connection has been released to the pool and have
been given to the other user, but the stored procedure was still running
(there is no new job with this stored proc). As a result the other user got
my result.

I don't think it hasnot been released because i have this finally in my
code.
I am quite sure that our java code is thread safe (checked and rechecked,
plus ok since more than a year)

Any idea?
