[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HBX-890) Invalid database connection properties causes Eclipse to crash

[Joseph Marques (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-890?page=comments#action_26189 ] 

Joseph Marques commented on HBX-890:
------------------------------------

Is it possible just to fork some kind of worker thread that has timeouts, have the connection attempt performed there instead, and forcefully kill the work upon timeout assuming the worst case of the driver causing it to hang forever?

> In this case the hibernate.connection.url was the issue.  I had been using "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:<port>/<db>", but that caused Eclipse to crash because that just hangs.
> The proper syntax, for the way I've exposed my postgres installation, is one of the following:
> 1)  jdbc:postgresql://<hostname>:<port>/<db>
> 2) jdbc:postgresql://<ip_address>:<port>/<db>
> If there was an explicit timeout for the connection attempt, and then a graceful handling of that timeout, Eclipse wouldn't have to die.
