11.3. Connection pool tuning properties

initial-size

Initial number of connections the pool should hold.

max-size

Maximum number of connections in the pool.

min-size

Minimum number of connections the pool should hold.

blocking-timeout

Maximum time in milliseconds to block while waiting for a connection before throwing an exception. This will never throw an exception if creating a new connection takes an inordinately long period of time. Default is 0 meaning that a call will wait indefinitely.

background-validation

Time in milliseconds between background validation runs. A duration of 0 means that this feature is disabled.

validate-on-acquisition

Connections idle for longer than this time, specified in milliseconds, are validated before being acquired (foreground validation). A duration of 0 means that this feature is disabled.

idle-removal

Time in minutes a connection has to be idle before it can be removed.

leak-detection

Time in milliseconds a connection has to be held before a leak warning.
