Atomikos Forum

I'm using TransactionEssentials for the integration tests in my Spring application.  Some of my tests are succeeding, but some are failing with an exception like this:

Could not get JDBC Connection; nested exception is com.atomikos.jdbc.AtomikosSQLException: Failed to grow the connection pool

Here's an excerpt from my test Spring context which shows the Atomikos-related beans (I'm not sure if this is going to render properly in this forum):

    <!-- Construct Atomikos UserTransactionManager, needed to configure Spring -->
    <bean id="atomikosTransactionManager" class="com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionManager"
          init-method="init" destroy-method="close">
        <!-- when close is called, should we force transactions to terminate or not? -->
        <property name="forceShutdown">
            <value>true</value>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <!-- Also use Atomikos UserTransactionImp, needed to configure Spring -->
    <bean id="atomikosUserTransaction" class="com.atomikos.icatch.jta.UserTransactionImp">
        <property name="transactionTimeout">
            <value>300</value>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <!-- Configure the Spring framework to use JTA transactions from Atomikos -->
    <bean id="catalogTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
        <property name="transactionManager">
            <ref bean="atomikosTransactionManager" />
        </property>
        <property name="userTransaction">
            <ref bean="atomikosUserTransaction" />
        </property>
    </bean>

The obvious answer: increase the maxPoolSize property. Does that work?

Thanks
