Hi All, I have been using DBCP with mySQL and Oracle using DriverManagerConnectionFactory, StackObjectPool and KeyedObjectPoolFactory. I use the code like follows : I am getting an exception when I call a sequence like this ==================== conn.close(); .. .. if (conn.isClosed()) { conn.close(); // THROWS THE EXCEPTION BELOW } Pls. see the actual context I'm getting problem down below. I found that the method DelegatingConnection.isClosed() is delegating it to the underlying driver (which is mySQL's isClosed()) where connection state is open since the Connection was only returned to the pool. Should we be intercepting the isClosed() at PoolableConnection() instead of letting DelegatingConnection handle it ? I'm currently eating the exception -- but believe that this should be fixed. Can work on a fix if I get a suitable suggestion. Thanks very much, ANJAN.
