To view the discussion, visit: https://community.jboss.org/message/758661#758661 -------------------------------------------------------------- hi.. I am also confused about the functioning of <idle-timeout-minutes. I have used the folloeing tags in xxx-ds.xml <min-pool-size>0</min-pool-size>       <max-pool-size>0</max-pool-size>       <idle-timeout-minutes>5</idle-timeout-minutes> I understand the functioning of min and max pool size. but i don understand what will  <idle-timeout-minutes>5</idle-timeout-minutes> do??? Will it relaease the connectkion to the pool when it is idle for more than 5 minutes or will the connection get closed. Thank you. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [https://community.jboss.org/message/758661#758661] Start a new discussion in IronJacamar at Community [https://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
