Reconnect with database parameters

[podiman]

In Jboss 5.1 what are the parameters that are relevant to connect back to a database which has been shut down for a while?

I have an Jboss instance which is running, and the database was shutdown for like an hour, when the database is restarted, what are the parameters that I can adjust in order to reconnect with the database fast without waiting for a long while for it to connect?

I've seen some parameters but I can't make much sense of them, so if you could point me which parameters in what files that deals with this kind of situation, you information is highly appreciated.

Thank you.

You might use the jxm-console and look for the JCA connection pool of your database. There you find a method flush, this will drop all connection from the pool and reopen it.

That should help.

any chance of Jboss being able to do it by itself, through parameters or otherwise?

You might use connection validation for that, but you still have a gap.
