Hi

We need a way to trap a dead db connection or problem creating a db connection, what kind of solutions are there? We dont want to trigger on every errors but just this kind of error (if this error occurs the application should exit , if we get other kinds of errors it shouldn't)

Thanks in advance

I think this is the responsibility of connection pool. And they have ways to deal with that already, for example they can verify connection before returning it to the requester. Please look at c3p0 for example
