Troubleshooting & Debugging Focus for Weblogic
JDBC: Problem Overview: Stale database connections in WebLogic occur when connections remain open but are no longer in use by applications. This leads to: High CPU usage (database server struggles with managing dead connections) High memory consumption (each idle connection consumes resources) Database breakdown (connection pool exhaustion leading to "ORA-00020: maximum number of processes exceeded" or similar errors) Root Causes: Improper Connection Handling Missing connection.close() in application code (JDBC leaks) T ransactions left open without commit/rollback JDBC Pool Misconfiguration Missing TestConnectionsOnReserve or InactiveConnectionTimeout Overly large MaxCapacity with no proper cleanup Network/DB Failures Database restarts or network drops leaving connections in a zombie state Long-Running Queries Queries that hang indefinitely (e.g., due to locks or bad SQL) Detection Methods: WebLogic Console Checks Navigat...
