Does anybody know a way to reestablish/retry again hibernate connection. I mean for example: the remote DB is down and I start my application. Hibernate is not able to establish a connection. it fails. But the application is not closed. Is there a way to say hibernate to try one more time to establish a connecton?
Thanks in advance
You should really go for C3P0 connection pooling: http://www.mchange.com/projects/c3p0/index.html#hibernate-specific
There is a section in C3P0 documentation on that subject: http://www.mchange.com/projects/c3p0/index.html#configuring_recovery
First you have to properly configure c3p0, which in case of using hibernate must happen in c3p0.properties file.
In your c3p0.properties put these properties to retry to reconnect indefinitely every 3 seconds when database is down:
c3p0.acquireRetryAttempts = 0
c3p0.acquireRetryDelay = 3000
c3p0.breakAfterAcquireFailure = false
Also, to avoid broken connections lying in your pool indefinitely, use connection age management:
c3p0.maxConnectionAge = 6000
c3p0.maxIdleTime = 6000
c3p0.maxIdleTimeExcessConnections = 1800
c3p0.idleConnectionTestPeriod = 3600
These may be quite expensive, but helpful if above is not enough:
c3p0.testConnectionOnCheckout = true
c3p0.preferredTestQuery = SELECT 1;
You may also want to check for connection leaks which prevent recovery:
c3p0.debugUnreturnedConnectionStackTraces = true
And finally, make sure that C3P0 is hooked with hibernate correctly, enable debug logging for "com.mchange" package and see if C3P0 tells you anything about itself. It should state configuration properties which are loaded, so see if it's all there.
I hope this helps.
C3P0 is the internal connection-pool implementation for hibernate.
Add "hibernate.connection.provider_class = org.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider"
in hibernate properties file. Create a file c3p0.properties setting the parameters accordingly. This file & c3p0-x.jar must be in classpath.
c3p0.properties
c3p0.idleConnectionTestPeriod : If this is a number greater than 0, c3p0 will test all idle, pooled but unchecked-out connections, every this number of seconds.
c3p0.testConnectionOnCheckout : Use only if necessary. Expensive. If true, an operation will be performed at every connection checkout to verify that the connection is valid. Better choice: verify connections periodically using idleConnectionTestPeriod.
There are several other properties that can be configured in hibernate.properties & c3p0.properties.
May be, you try to call method .getCurrentSession() instead .openSession()?
If connection falls you must establish new one.
I hope this helps.

We use Hibernate with Exasol in a web app. When we set Hibernate's hibernate.connection.pool_size property to a value greater than 1 (or the corresponding property of any JDBC connection pool, e.g, HikariCP, c3p0, to a value greater than 1), we get:
java.sql.SQLException: syntax error, unexpected FOR_READ_ONLY_, expecting end_of_input or ';' [line 1, column 93] (Session: 1622929410050974585)

From the Exasol's user manual,
The Connection Pooling of the driver manager is deactivated by
default. You can explicitly activate it in the configuration tool
"ODBC Data Source Administrator". But please note that in that case
reused connections keep their session settings which were set via SQL
commands (see ALTER SESSION).
Here, ODBC is mentioned, whereas we use JDBC. So my question is, how to enable JDBC connection pooling on Exasol?
Should we add/update a row in EXA_PARAMETERS view/table?
for JDBC, EXASOL itself doesn't have an integrated connection pooling.
But we find the following library very useful:
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-dbcp/download_dbcp.cgi
For instance, this is also used in JMeter and works fine there.
However, we do not have any experience combining this library with hibernate.
By the way, did you use https://github.com/exasol/hibernate-exasol?
Please let us know about the progress, we are happy to help! (Contact us: www.exasol.com/contact)

I run some tomcat application, use jndi connection pool.
In some time connection pool stops to give connections and application hangs.
Seems because some code receives connection and doesn't return it back to the pool.
How can I monitor - which code does it ?
More common - I want to see what all connections do at the moment.
I cannot change application. But I can adjust Tomcat, maybe add some interceptors.
Most connection pool implementations can be configured to detect connections that are not returned to the pool. E.g. for Tomcat's JDBC connection pool there are various configurations options for "abandoned connections" (connections for which the lease expired). If you search for "Abandoned" on this web-page, you'll find the options:
removeAbandoned
removeAbandonedTimeout
logAbandoned
suspectTimeout
As mentioned on the web-page, these settings will add a little overhead but at least your application will not hang. When testing your application, set a low value for removeAbandonedTimeout and a low value for maxActive so that you can catch unreturned connections early.
I never use the connection pool API itself, I always wrap it in a helper.
That way, I can do this in the helper:
private Exception created = (0 == 1) ? new Exception() : null;
When I run into problems like yours, I just change one character (0 -> 1) to have a stack trace of who created this instance in my debugger.
I have Java application with Hibernate framework(no spring) connect to MySQL DB , manage connection pooling via c3p0
i try to configure my apllication to read from slave db and write to master db , i have following this link to some extend Master/Slave load balance
let's say if the application already got a session with connection in pool and it need to execute a read-only method , like this
public someReadOnlyMethod()
{
Session session = (get session from current Thread)
//set read-only so that it read from slave db
session.connection().setReadOnly(true);
(...connect to db to do something...)
//set it back in case of this method is followed by write method so that it go to master db
session.connection().setReadOnly(false);
}
Is the pooling create a new connection to connect to db 2 times for read-only and write operation(if so,this will heavily impact performance) or it smart enough to swap the operation to already existing read-only and writable connection pool ?
thx for your advice.
so this has nothing to do with the pool; it's all in the mysql driver. c3p0 will pass your call to setReadOnly (whether true or false) to the underlying Connection, and the Connection will route to the master or the slaves accordingly.
if you don't like how your Connections default (probably by default they are not read only), you can set the read-only property in the onAcquire method of a c3p0 ConnectionCustomizer, and the value use set (true or false) will become th default that c3p0 resets Connections to.
good luck!
tl;dr: It will re-use existing connections whenever you switch setReadOnly(true/false).
JDBC will connect to all servers listed in your connection URL when you do ReplicationDriver().connect(url). Those connections will remain open for re-use no matter how many times you switch setReadOnly().
Source: I just tested Connector/J version 5.1.38 with com.mysql.jdbc.ReplicationDriver.
I'm new to c3op, and confused about the use of :
c3p0.idle_test_period
In this link : HowTo configure the C3P0 connection pool
idleTestPeriod : Must be set in hibernate.cfg.xml (or hibernate.properties), Hibernate default:
0, If this is a number greater than 0, c3p0 will test all idle, pooled but unchecked-out
connections, every this number of seconds.
What is the purpose of this kind of test (idel, pooled connections), and the relationship between c3p0.idle_test_period and c3p0.timeout?
The database server may close a connection on its side after a certain amount of time - causing some error in your application, because it'll attempt to send a query on a connection which is no longer available on the server side.
In order to avoid this you can let the pool periodically check a connection (Think of a ping) for it's validity. This is what idle_test_period is for.
timeout is the timespan after which the pool will remove a connection from the pool, because the connection wasn't checked out (used) for a while and the pool contains more connections than c3pO.min_size.
I think this setting is used in hibernate in order to validate pooled connection after every few seconds . Consider a scenario if on database side, password is changed. Hibernate already pooled connections on old password. So it is security breach having pool with wrong password.So when hibernate will validate after few seconds it . It will invalidate that pooled connection.
I am getting the following error:

I am really stumped and can't figure out what could be causing this error. I am not able to reproduce the error on my machine but on production it is coming a lot of times. I am using iBatis in the whole application so there are no chances of my code not closing connections.
We do have stored procedures that run for a long time before they return results (around 15 seconds).
does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? I dont think raising the # of connections on the application server will fix this issue buecause if connections were running out then we'd see "Error on allocating connections"
Sample code snippet:
this.setSqlMapClientTemplate(getSqlTempl());
getSqlMapClientTemplate().queryForList("authentication.isUserDAO", parmMap);
this.setSqlMapClientTemplate(getSqlTemplDW());
List results = (List) parmMap.get("Result0");
I am using validate in my connection pool.
Based on the stack trace, the likely cause is that you are continuing to use a ResultSet after close() was called on the Connection that generated the ResultSet.
What is your DataSource framework? Apache Commons DBCP?
do you use poolPrepareStatement property in data source configuration?
Check the following:
Make sure testOnBorrow and testOnReturn are true and place a simple validationQuery like select 0 from dual.
Do you use au
do you use autoCommit? Are you using START TRANSACTION, COMMIT in your stored procedures? After several days of debugging we found out that you can't mix transaction management both in Java and in SQL - you have to decide on one place to do it. Where are you doing yours?
Edit your question with answers to this, an we'll continue from there.
When a db server reboots, or there are some problems with a network, all the connections in the connection pool are broken and this usuall requires a reboot of application server
And if broken connection detected, you shold create a new one to replace it in connection pool. It's common problem called deadly connections.
