"Connections currently in use" negative???

Question

WL 4.5.1 sp7, Solaris 2.6, Oracle 8i
We're have multiple connection pools set up on wl, and are seeing very slow
response on one particular pool. Upon inspection of the WL console, we see
that the connections currently in use is '-5'! Is this a console bug, or is
WL somehow catching more returned connections than checked-out connections?

Answer 1

This is the case on slow connection pools in WLS 4.5.1. It is fixed in SP13.

Revision=(Release Level)=SP10
Problem Description=Whenever a connection pool runs out of connections, all
the threads of the WLS become blocked.
I had a discussion with Joe Weinstein starting on the weblogic jdbc news
group and continuing in email. He told me to use Driver.connect() instead of
DriverManager.getConnection() and provided me with a patch - jtsdriver.jar.
Can someone please provide me with more information on this? Specifically,
if jtsdriver.jar is an official patch? Here is the last email from Joe ...

Hi Mike,
Here is the modified service pack doc which includes the reference to Issue
32204
This fix made it to source but for some reason did not get documented.
So this fix for sure is in service pack 13.
hope this is what you are looking for.
Best Regards,
Michael O'Shea.

Hi Joe,
I could have anticipated the solution ;-).... back in my old job this
problem would not have even manifested, so you can believe how far back
into my head my eyes rolled when I found out we were still running WL
4.5.1 sp7 on JDK 1.2.2 here. Curse me for working for a big, profitable
Internet company with long QA cycles!And curse us for producing an old product that was stable enough that the
big profitable company never had to replace it till now maybe? ;-)

It's neither of those, it is probably a counting bug in that server'sversion
of the pool.
