ADF : On the hunt for connection leaks

We changed our connection pool to only use connection pools in weblogic and also to swap connection pool depending on a login selection (http://dailydevfixes.blogspot.com/2011/09/using-environment-info-provider-to.html).

We are now running out of connections at a rapid rate - each task flow seems to create 2 new connections so off to weblogic console I go. (Enviroment\Servers\[YourServer]\Monitioring\JDBC).

To monitor the info I used the dashboard (dont forget to push the play button):
http://[your server]:7101/console/dashboard



Will update this thread as the hunting progresses.

Ok so my hunting ended in disappointment today - there where no connection leaks here is my scenario:
We had multiple AM's working off the same Data source. Each Application module had the value of Referenced Pool Size set to ten. Each request to a taskflow created a new application module and thus a new connection only once the Referenced Pool Size value of connections where reached did it start reusing AMs and connections.

So lessons learned and an important exercise.

ADF sort of generic screen for tables with the same structure

We have a couple (about a hundred) of tables with the same structure (Code, Description, Create Date, Update Date). So I wanted to do something simple so that I did not have to create all these screens 1) EO   I created the EO based on one of the tables I had that had the above columns. I then Added a transient attribute called table name to my EO based on a groovy expression. (the expression needs to change as I am reading web tier stuff from the model layer but I will fix this later) I then generated a java class for my EO. And added the following overriden method to my newly created java class. protected StringBuffer buildDMLStatement(int i, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl,   AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl2, AttributeDefImpl[] attributeDefImpl3, boolean b) {   StringBuffer statement = super.buildDMLStatement(   i, attributeDefImpl, attributeDefImpl2, attributeDefImpl3, b); return new StringBuffer(StringUtils.replace(statement.to...

MANIFEST.MF merge JDeveloper for an executable jar

Goto your project > properties. Then click on deployment in the menu. Edit or add a jar deployment profile. Fill in the details under jar options (select Include manifest and give it a main class name) Also remember that the merge functionality only works with a BLANK line at the end of the merge file. REALLY this caught me. My merge file contents: Class-Path: commons-codec-1.3.jar [...empty line here CRLF...]
