When I stress test my web app using JMeter, I am suddenly getting a "DBCP could not obtain an idle db connection, pool exhausted" SQLException thrown.

When I test with 25 simulated users every one of my 25 threads gets the exception after the first 25 requests.

What am I doing wrong?

My setup:

RH Linux 7.1
Java 1.4.1_01
Tomcat 4.1.24
DBCP 1.0

MySQL 3.23.56


My pertinent DBCP configuration:

removeAbandoned = true
maxActive = 25
maxIdle = 10
maxWait = 10000
url ends with ?autoReconnect=true

I double checked that all of my database connections in my code follow the pattern of:

Connection conDBConnection = getConnection();
PreparedStatement psDBStatement = null;
ResultSet rsDBResult = null;

try
{
psDBStatement = conDBConnection.prepareStatement("select query from views where viewid = ?");
psDBStatement.setInt(1, nViewID);
rsDBResult = psDBStatement.executeQuery();
   
if (rsDBResult.next())
{
  strReturnValue = rsDBResult.getString(1);
}
}
catch (SQLException sqle)
{
sqle.printStackTrace();
strReturnValue = null;
}
finally
{
try
{
  if (rsDBResult != null) rsDBResult.close();
  if (psDBStatement != null) psDBStatement.close();
  if (conDBConnection != null) conDBConnection.close();
}
catch (SQLException sqle)
{
  sqle.printStackTrace();
}
}
