> It would be excellent if BasicDataSource had a "maxLifetime" property, for 
> specifying the maximum lifetime of a connection in the pool, no matter how long 
> it's been active or idle, and no matter whether it still seems to be alive. 
> Commons DBCP does not support this yet; it just offers various connection 
> validation means, which is not the same.
> This is particularly relevant for MySQL Connector/J 3.0.x which tries to apply 
> some weird automatic recovery when a MySQL connection has timed out, resulting 
> in all sorts of issues. The best way to deal with this is to set the maximum 
> lifetime of a connection to 4 hours or the like: If it's older, simply kill it, 
> even if it's still alive at that point of time.
> Note that Proxool (http://proxool.sourceforge.net) does have such a property, 
> namely "maximum-connection-lifetime". Resin's connection pool has a similar 
> property named "max-pool-time" (http://www.caucho.com/resin-2.1/ref/db-
> config.xtp). I tend to prefer Commons DBCP, but the lack of such a property 
> forces me to look for alternative pools.
