oracle rdbms connector

[Roderick Grau]

Shib Users,

We have a data connector with an Oracle DB which is configured as a container managed connection.  This data connector pulls 1 piece of student data for 1 service provider.

Our DBAs decided to do some patching this morning and brought our entire Shib infrastructure down.  It looks like once the connection pool timed out and could not be recreated, Tomcat "paused" the Shib web app until a DB connection could be made.

Other than the obvious, I need to tell this application owner that they need another DB or patch at and outage, how do I fix this?  Is there some connection pool options?

maxActive="0" and minIdle="0" does not do what you think it would.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

-Rod
