All connections were obtained using the code below. The exception was thrown later on a SELECT query. public static Connection getConnection() throws SQLException { Connection conn = dataSource.getConnection(); conn.setAutoCommit(true); return conn; } -- Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure due to underlying exception: ** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION ** java.net.SocketTimeoutException MESSAGE: Read timed out STACKTRACE: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:129) at com.mysql.jdbc.util.ReadAheadInputStream.fill(ReadAheadInputStream.java:113) at com.mysql.jdbc.util.ReadAheadInputStream.readFromUnderlyingStreamIfNecessary(ReadAheadInputStream.java:160) at com.mysql.jdbc.util.ReadAheadInputStream.read(ReadAheadInputStream.java:188) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.readFully(MysqlIO.java:1994) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.reuseAndReadPacket(MysqlIO.java:2464) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:2916) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:885) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.nextRow(MysqlIO.java:1360) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.readSingleRowSet(MysqlIO.java:2369) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.getResultSet(MysqlIO.java:451) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.readResultsForQueryOrUpdate(MysqlIO.java:2076) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.readAllResults(MysqlIO.java:1451) at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sqlQueryDirect(MysqlIO.java:1787) at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.execSQL(Connection.java:3256) at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.executeInternal(PreparedStatement.java:1313) at com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement.executeQuery(PreparedStatement.java:1448) at org.apache.commons.dbcp.DelegatingPreparedStatement.executeQuery(DelegatingPreparedStatement.java:93) ...

Exceptions only occur in the "job processing" JVM, which sits idle for long periods of time and occasionally wakes up to interact with the database. > Reporter: ori > Fix For: 1.3 > > > I think I've traced an exception to DBCP's code. > Communication with the database is hanging sporadically in a production environment. If I don't set the socketTimeout property on the underlying connection, it will hang forever. With the socketTimeout property, I get the following exception: > ------- > com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException: Communications link failure due to underlying exception: > ** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION ** > java.net.SocketTimeoutException > MESSAGE: Read timed out > STACKTRACE: > java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out > at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method) > at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:129) > at com.mysql.jdbc.util.ReadAheadInputStream.fill(ReadAheadInputStream.java:113) > at com.mysql.jdbc.util.ReadAheadInputStream.readFromUnderlyingStreamIfNecessary(ReadAheadInputStream.java:160) > at com.mysql.jdbc.util.ReadAheadInputStream.read(ReadAheadInputStream.java:188) > at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.readFully(MysqlIO.java:1994) > at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.reuseAndReadPacket(MysqlIO.java:2411) > at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.checkErrorPacket(MysqlIO.java:2916) > at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sendCommand(MysqlIO.java:1631) > at com.mysql.jdbc.MysqlIO.sqlQueryDirect(MysqlIO.java:1723) > at com.mysql.jdbc.Connection.execSQL(Connection.java:3250) > at com.mysql.jdbc.Statement.executeUpdate(Statement.java:1355) > at com.mysql.jdbc.Statement.executeUpdate(Statement.java:1270) > at org.apache.commons.dbcp.DelegatingStatement.executeUpdate(DelegatingStatement.java:228) > ... > ------- > It always happens in an infrequently used JVM (not an app server handling frequent connections).
