Re: Problem with permanent connections from Tomcat

Hi,

Had the same problem. If they test an application and restart the
application - not tomcat - it will keep the old connections open. A
restart of tomcat should release all the connections from the
developer.

For example, if the code on the one of  servlets/jsp do not reuse a
connection the servlet/jsp will open a new connection.

Regards,

Søren
