JCA Connection Retry and Timeout

[chungmanho]

Hi,

I tried to find this from the JBoss JCA documentation but can't find any information about this. Is there a way to configure the JCA Server connection manager to do automatic retry to establish a connection, if it cannot establish one the first time? If so, what steps need to be taken to do this.

Another question: is there a way to configure a hard time limit for a connection obtained from the connection factory. I would like the connection pool to get the connection back from the client and throw an exception if certain time has passed. I am aware that I can configure an IdleTimeoutMinutes attribute, but I actually want to kill the connection even when it is not idle.

Thanks,

Dennis.

The JBoss version I am using is 4.0.3 sp1. Thanks.

These are both client side responsibilities rather than JCA.

In the first scenario, if a connection attempt fails you would code for this and attempt to acquire another connection.

In the second scenario, time elapsed on a open connection means nothing to the implementation of connection pools. Again, this is a client requirement, not one of JCA.
