I'm using c3p0 connection pool for communication between my (unsigned) Java applet and MySql db. I have this code for initializing pool:
DataSource pool = pools.get(db_name);
if(pool == null)
pool = initializePool(db_name);
return pool.getConnection();
Initialize pool method looks like this:
protected DataSource initializePool(String db_name) throws SQLException {
try {
ComboPooledDataSource cpds = new ComboPooledDataSource();
cpds.setDriverClass("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
cpds.setJdbcUrl(connectionDetails.getConnectionString(db_name));
cpds.setUser(connectionDetails.getUsername());
cpds.setPassword(connectionDetails.getPassword());
pools.put(db_name, cpds);
return cpds;
} catch (PropertyVetoException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new SQLException("JDBC driver could not be initialized propertly");
}
}
My c3p0-config.xml is simple:
<c3p0-config><default-config>
<property name="acquireIncrement">1</property>
<property name="initialPoolSize">5</property>
<property name="minPoolSize">1</property>
<property name="maxPoolSize">7</property>
<property name="maxConnectionAge">0</property>
<property name="maxIdleTime">600</property>
<property name="maxIdleTimeExcessConnections">120</property>
<property name="automaticTestTable">C3p0_test_table</property>
<property name="idleConnectionTestPeriod">60</property>
<property name="testConnectionOnCheckin">true</property></default-config></c3p0-config>
The problem is that "getConnection" call takes sometimes even 10 or more seconds to respond when i call a database for the first time (second time i contact a db it's faster). I've been looking all over the net and "c3p0" manual for way to speedup connection pool without luck.
When i run my applet (from server) java console output looks like this:

What am i missing? Is there a way to speed up process of getting connection? I thought that it might be a server issue, but i'm having those lags even when i run my applet from eclipse (and make it contact remote database at server). Please help, or at least explain me why getting connection is so slow?
