Setting the Initial Number of Pool Connections

In Business Components for Java, you can specify a Java VM parameter (-D) or jboserver.properties property that sets the initial number of connections in the pool. The default is zero (0).

To set the initial pool size:

When you start the business logic tier's Java VM, include the following directive on the command line:

-Djbo.initpoolsize=n

n is the number of connections in the pool, from 0 to 2,147,483,647. The number of connections is limited by the number of connections supported by your database driver.

Alternatively, you can enter a line in the jboserver.properties file, which is stored in \lib\jbomt.zip:

jbo.initpoolsize=n

To set Java VM parameters through project properties:

  1. In the Workspace view of the Navigator, right-click a business component project and choose Properties.

  2. In the Run/Debug panel, type the parameters in the Java VM Parameters field.

  3. Click OK.

    The values are added to the jboserver.properties file, which is stored in \lib\jbomt.zip.
