Hi, We have a very unique issue at the moment with the following setup: 1. JBoss 4.0.3 SP1 2. Installed on Linux - Gentoo 3. MSSQL 2005 database About once a day, at random times, a connection will just die to the database. By "just die" I mean a JBoss thread waits forever on: | java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) | java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:129) | java.io.DataInputStream.readFully(DataInputStream.java:178) | java.io.DataInputStream.readFully(DataInputStream.java:152) | net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.SharedSocket.readPacket(SharedSocket.java:826) | We discovered that the query was not even executed on the database, so query-timeout settings have no effect, it literally waits forever and we have to restart JBoss to fix this problem. Is there a way to set the following socket timeouts on the connections in the connection pool: 1. timeout to wait for the connection to be established 2. timeout to wait for data to be returned on the socket Thanks, Gerrit View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4179176#...
