When the application is idle for several hours, the next request throws the following error: ORA-02396: exceeded maximum idle time, please connect again. The DBAs state that there is no idle timeout on the database. I'm using JBoss 4.0.1 and jdbc:oracle:thin. I set the local-tx-datasource to <idle-timeout-minutes>0</idle-timeout-minutes>, but the app is still getting the idle time error. I have to restart JBoss for the app to start working again. Any thoughts? Thanks! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4188303#...
