配置解决java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe

最近的一个项目在Hibernate使用C3P0的连接池，数据库为Mysql。开发测试没有问题，在运行中每个一段长的空闲时间就出现异常Communications link failure due to underlying exception:

java 代码
org.hibernate.exception.JDBCConnectionException: could not execute query
at org.hibernate.exception.SQLStateConverter.convert(SQLStateConverter.java:74)
at org.hibernate.exception.JDBCExceptionHelper.convert(JDBCExceptionHelper.java:43)
.......
Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException: No operations allowed after connection closed.Connection was implicitly closed due to underlying exception/error:
** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION **
com.mysql.jdbc.CommunicationsException
MESSAGE: Communications link failure due to underlying exception:
** BEGIN NESTED EXCEPTION **
java.net.SocketException
MESSAGE: Broken pipe
STACKTRACE:
java.net.SocketException: Broken pipe
at java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0(Native Method)
......
** END NESTED EXCEPTION **
查看了Mysql的文档，以及Connector/J的文档以及在线说明发现，出现这种异常的原因是：

Mysql服务器默认的“wait_timeout”是8小时，也就是说一个connection空闲超过8个小时，Mysql将自动断开该connection。这就是问题的所在，在C3P0 pools中的connections如果空闲超过8小时，Mysql将其断开，而C3P0并不知道该connection已经失效，如果这时有Client请求connection，C3P0将该失效的Connection提供给Client，将会造成上面的异常。

解决的方法有3种：

增加wait_timeout的时间。
减少Connection pools中connection的lifetime。
测试Connection pools中connection的有效性。
当然最好的办法是同时综合使用上述3种方法，下面就DBCP和C3P0分别做一说明，假设wait_timeout为默认的8小时

DBCP增加以下配置信息:


#set to 'true'
testWhileIdle = "true"
#some positive integer
timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis = 3600000
#set to something smaller than 'wait_timeout'
minEvictableIdleTimeMillis = 18000000
#if you don't mind a hit for every getConnection(), set to "true"
testOnBorrow = "true"
C3P0增加以下配置信息:

//获取connnection时测试是否有效
testConnectionOnCheckin = true
//自动测试的table名称
automaticTestTable=C3P0TestTable
//set to something much less than wait_timeout, prevents connections from going stale
idleConnectionTestPeriod = 18000
//set to something slightly less than wait_timeout, preventing 'stale' connections from being handed out
maxIdleTime = 25000
//if you can take the performance 'hit', set to "true"
testConnectionOnCheckout = true
更多的配置信息大家可以查看C3P0文档，Connector/J文档，以及DBCP的文档。
