Hello All,

If I use <check-valid-connection-sql> config param in my-ds.xml to check for stale pool connections, the call to the database gets blocked for 5000 milliseconds due to a default setting of <blocking-timeout-millis>. Given that the database is down and the pool connection is stale, what exactly happens within this 5 seconds of being blocked? Are there reconnection attempts?

Thanks a lot
James
