Thanks, I'll read that now.

Re: Connection Pooling







    Hi Ron,

    I don't have the free time for a full debug ( my paying clients and
stomach would be most unhappy,  ) but from a quick scan, it doesn't appear
that the connection is *ever* closed.  I see some ResultSet and Statement
closes ( and I assume all the xxxLock objects are some sort of Statement. 
)
The only line to do with connection close was this:

//March 24, 2006 Removed code for create new connection - Ron Power
                        //conn.close();

So I don't see ( from the available code ) how *any* connection *ever* 
gets
closed.  And that was only in your whoLocked() method.

errors?

    Yep.  Known in some circles as TCFTC.  There are examples in the 
source
code for my JDBC tutorial at

http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Database/JDBC20Intro/

You can write a wrapper to help ease the pain, similar to what I did with
SQLException reporting, but closing is essential, and particularly so in a
pooling situation.
