Spring connection pooling issue

Question

I'm not experienced in Java and Spring. I try to write a program that uses JdbcTemplate for Data access. I use DBCP pooling, here it is:

<bean id="myDataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
    <property name="driverClassName" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />
    <property name="url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@192.168.2.7:1521:xe" />
    <property name="username" value="manifesto" />
    <property name="password" value="manifesto" />
    <property name="initialSize" value="2" />
    <property name="maxActive" value="4" />
</bean>

My application perform several update operations and then throws an exception:

    7053 [SenderThread-0] DEBUG org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceUtils  - Fetching JDBC Connection from DataSource

When I change pool settings(pool size), the application can run some more times but it then crashes. I think the problem is related to pooling but I couldn't solve it.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

A google search would have helped: http://www.dba-oracle.com/sf_ora_12519_tns_no_appropriate_service_handler_found.htm

Few suggestions: Use app server pools if possible Use c3p0 than DBCP

Answer 2

The same error occurred for me when lots of threads accessed the database simultaneously, and I had a separate DBCP BasicDataSource and a separate Spring JdbcTemplate for each thread.

By making both the BasicDataSource and the JdbcTemplate a singleton shared by all threads, I could avoid this error. This is also what SpringSource recommends.

Answer 3

Use oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource
