Didn't the Java EE server pool the actual JCR sessions in earlier versions? Such that, when a logout on a JCA handle had been called, the actual JCR session was not logged out but returned to a connection pool. Furthermore the size of this connection pool could be configured via min- and max-pool-size entries in the jcr-ds.xml. Has this behaviour been removed? -- View this message in context: http://jackrabbit.510166.n4.nabble.com/jackrabbit-jca-2-2-repository-shutdows-after-every-logout-tp3088765p3206525.html Sent from the Jackrabbit - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
