Hi, I've been having all sorts of broken pipe / connection timeout problems with a group of reports that uses a jdbc oracle connection (ojdbc5.jar) as datasource. I've tried increasing the value assigned to property name="poolTimeout" value="900" and set org.quartz.jobStore.misfireThreshold=180000 I've attached log excerpts from two of the errors i'm mentionning, it has been recomended in previous posts to use a dummy query setting like this: datasource.extra.params=validationQuery="select 1" to keep the connection pool alive or create a new one. Is it possible to implement that code in such way that'd only affect the oracle jdbc connection?, the reason i'm asking that is due to having multiple data sources to different dbms and that query would fail if run in mssql server probably generating noice in the log. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Emanuel Code: Post Edited by emanuelfpaz at 08/09/2010 14:46 Post Edited by emanuelfpaz at 08/09/2010 14:48
