I get terrible MySQL JDBC legacy connection errors:
Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException: No operations allowed after connection closed.
Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: The last packet successfully received from the server was 243,263,541 milliseconds ago. The last packet sent successfully to the server was 243,263,541 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.
Everyone seems to agree that this is fixed with validationQuery + testOnBorrow, but this does not solve the problem.
I am using the following MySQL software 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 Connector / J 5.1.18 Tomcat 6.0.24
Here is how the connection is defined in server.xml, we use tomcat-dbcp to join the connections.
