Thank you Peter. I am happy now that the connection is closing. I am now deploying to the jboss web server which works nicely. The feature of the application server complaining about unclosed connections is very useful, it helped me find where I had forgotten to close the connection. I hope this feature also is in the jboss web server. Best regards! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4003717#...
