hi all, This is an issue which I have seen all across the web. I will bring it up again as till now I don't have a fix for the same.
I am using hibernate 3. mysql 5 and latest c3p0 jar. I am getting a broken pipe exception. Following is my hibernate.cfg file.
com.mysql.jdbc.Driver org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect

My connection pooling is occurring fine. During the day it is fine , but once i keep it idle over the night ,next day I find it giving me broken connection error.

Above is my code for the session factory. And I have only select operations .
And below is the method which is used most often to execute my select queries. One tricky thing which I am not understanding is in my findById method i am using this line of code getSession().beginTransaction(); without which it gives me an error saying that this cannot happpen without a transaction. But nowhere I am closing this transaction. And thers no method to close a transaction apart from commit or rollback (as far as i know) which are not applicable for select statements.
public T findById(ID id, boolean lock) throws HibernateException, DAOException { log.debug("findNyId invoked with ID ="+id+"and lock ="+lock); T entity; getSession().beginTransaction();
if (lock)
entity = (T) getSession().load(getPersistentClass(), id, LockMode.UPGRADE);
else
entity = (T) getSession().load(getPersistentClass(), id);
return entity;
}
Can anyone please suggest what can I do ? I have tried out almost every solution available via googling, on stackoverlow or on hibernate forums with no avail. (And increasing wait_timeout on mysql is not a valid option in my case).
