Provide a way to reconfigure the jdbc-pool using JMX and have it take effect when changes are submitted. http://markmail.org/message/x6wem3zkxl4ps7ki
To note in this context is also the fact that currently (Tomcat JDBC Connection Pool 1.1.0.0) several setter-methods in org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.jmx.ConnectionPools have an empty body. As long as they are not implemented it is better to remove them (the settermethods, not the getter-methods) from the mbean interface, otherwise the user believes to can change these values, but in truth the changes are not considered at all.
We also ran into this issue recently. For example, it would be very useful to increase max size of the pool without restarting the server. Is there a traction on this? Would it help if we submit a patch?
you got it, changes are underway
Trunk fix in r1311844 7.0.x fix in r1311848 Will in be Tomcat 7.0.28 and onwards
