Handling Idle timeouts
                    
Hi
	
		
	
		
	
                We have a java based application running on Linux with Apache and Tomcat running on it
	
	The 10g database is running on a separate linux box.
	
	There is a firewall between the apps server and the database. 
	
	The application uses connection pooling to open connections to database
	
	The connection to the database are getting cleaned up after 5 minutes, i.e. if the connections are not being used
	
	or stay idle for 5 minutes, they are gracefully cleaned up. This defeats the whole purpose of using connection pooling
	
	where the idea is to have at least X number of database connection always avialable for the application users to be reused
