Connection object in context listenter

[A Kumar]

Hi,
I have a doubt....
Suppose,
you write code to create connection in the context listener...for a
database that resides at a remote location..

in due course of time..if there is a problem in network where in you are not able to access the database... and sometime later..the network problem is restored...

then what happens to the connection ??

The cached connection will become stale and throw exception when you try to do some database operations. You should explicitly open and close the connection whenever it is possible. By using some connection pooling data source, open connection means obtaining an opened connection from the pool and close is to return the connection back to the pool. The pool can be configured to invalidate the stale connection and recreate them.

I posted the doubt with reference to the below post...

You can use autoReconnect=true on your connection url.
