GlassFish and Toplink ( ..continued )

My experience with GlassFish has increased since my last post.

There is already an ADF Faces - JPA eclipselink application that runs smoothly now for a few weeks on GlassFish. The only problem that came up after the successful code tests, was the Connection Pool leakage. There are some differences between the OAS and the GlassFish Connection Pooling. As a result, I had to tweak the preferences a little. In the 'General' tab I disabled the 'Connection Validation Required' checkbox to save time on connection gets. Also, at the 'Advanced' tab I set the 'Leak Reclaim' to true and the 'Leak Timeout' to 120 secs. The leak timeout may vary depending on the application. These two tweaks have stabilized the application.

The other important thing that I need to mention, is the difficulty that I found in installing two different versions of toplink. So the workaround is to install a new GlassFish installation for every toplink version (because the toplink libraries are installed in the installations's lib directory). I am lucky to have only two toplink versions (10.1.3.5 and 10.1.3.3) to handle!

But it is a serious thing to be considered in the following GlassFish versions: The library loader per version and the grouping of libraries. It is the one thing that I miss OAS for!
