Unable to shrink the connections

Question

HI,
I am using weblogic 6.1 connection pooling. I am facing problem in shrinking
the connections
I set the connection parameters as
Initial capacity = 2,
Increment = 1
Max capacity = 10
Allow shrinking = true
When I open 4 sessions simultaneously it shows the
connections = 4
total connections = 4
Waiters = 0
Connections high = 3
After several time accessing the database it shows
     Connections = 0
     Total connections = 13
     Connections high = 3
     Waiters = 0
My problem is even after shirking time also it shows the active connections in
the database side(I tested using v$session).are there any extra setting is needed
for the shrink to take place?(other than setting it to true in console). I even
tested using the code ( getting the pool and executing the shrink() method).
My second doubt was why it is showing total connections as greater than maximum
capacity. I am not clear on the no shown for total connections.
I would be thankful if some looks into it.
Thanks

Answer 1

Make sure the application is returning all the connection to the pool (close
all connections in the finally blocks). If connections are not closed in
your application they cannot be removed from the pool.
