Re: Losing Connections

Hi Pablo,

If you use a C-JDBC driver on top of the Postgresql driver it checks for
dropped connection using test statements when a request has failed.
You can see more there:
http://c-jdbc.objectweb.org/current/doc/userGuide/html/userGuide.html#dtd_databasebackend

Hope this can help you.
