[jboss-user] [JCA/JBoss] - re-authentication and pooling

Hello, I have seen several topics in the JCA forum discussing different issues, which could be solved by the re-authentication feature. I guess in our situation this is also the case. We are using a third party JCA resource adapter providing connections to the CORBA services. The CORBA services have different interfaces. We have to authenticate the user requesting a connection and using then the authentication mechanism: | <security-domain-and-application> | which causes that the connections are pooled by the Subject and their types. Now regarding the connection pool size. For example: 500 application users (different identities) 70 different connection types 20 max pool size (each sub-pool) 1 min pool size (each sub-pool) The result of this scenario is that the pool can grow up to 500*70*20=700000 connections. Well, at the moment our pool size do not achieve this level, but the number of application users tend to grow. Considering this scenario the re-authentication would allow to have just one common pool for all connections and re-use them for every identity. I would very appreciate if the re-authentication is considered by the pooling implementation in JBoss. Since JCA does not restrict the number of the types/interfaces of the connections provided by a resource adapter, I can imagine that there could be many other resource adapters and their users, which will surely benefit from this feature.
