Spring JDBCTemplate other MySQL datasource than apache commons?

Question

I am using Spring JDBCTemplate to perform SQL operations on an apache commons datasource (org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource) and when the service is up and running to long, i end up getting this exception:

org.springframework.dao.RecoverableDataAccessException: StatementCallback; SQL [SELECT * FROM vendor ORDER BY name]; The last packet successfully received from the server was 64,206,061 milliseconds ago.  The last packet sent successfully to the server was 64,206,062 milliseconds ago. is longer than the server configured value of 'wait_timeout'. You should consider either expiring and/or testing connection validity before use in your application, increasing the server configured values for client timeouts, or using the Connector/J connection property 'autoReconnect=true' to avoid this problem.; nested exception is com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: The last packet successfully received from the server was 64,206,061 milliseconds ago.  The last packet sent successfully to the server was 64,206,062 milliseconds ago. is longer than the server configured value of 'wait_timeout'. You should consider either expiring and/or testing connection validity before use in your application, increasing the server configured values for client timeouts, or using the Connector/J connection property 'autoReconnect=true' to avoid this problem.

I have tried adding the 'autoReconnect=true' to the connection string, but this problem still occurs. Is there another datasource that can be used that will manage the reconnecting for me?

Answer 1

You can try to C3PO:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/c3p0/

<bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"destroy-method="close">
   <property name="user" value="${db.username}"/>
   <property name="password" value="${db.password}"/>
   <property name="driverClass" value="${db.driverClassName}"/>
   <property name="jdbcUrl" value="${db.url}"/>
   <property name="initialPoolSize" value="0"/>
   <property name="maxPoolSize" value="1"/>
   <property name="minPoolSize" value="1"/>
   <property name="acquireIncrement" value="1"/>
   <property name="acquireRetryAttempts" value="0"/>
   <property name="idleConnectionTestPeriod" value="600"/> <!--in seconds-->
</bean>
