Hi,

> I am trying to develop EAR application (EJB3, web modulues) on Glassfish 2.1, NB6.5.1 and FB 1.5.x and Java Server Faces (actually ICEFaces, the best option, I guess). I managed to create EJB's from database, to compile applciation and to deploy on the server, but when I am trying to view the page that has query 'SELECT o from CUSTOMER', where customer is my EJB - mapped to customers tables, I am getting:

The code you have posted is part of the connection pool logic. There are
two connections when the application uses connection pooling - physical
connection and "logical" connection. The call DataSource.getConnection()
or ManagedConnection.getConnection() returns a logical connection.

The error you see means that application (or application server) tried
to obtain the logical connection while the previous was not closed. In
other words the application tried to obtain two connections from the
same physical connection, which, AFAIK, should not be allowed.

You must be mixing something. Firebird can handle multiple connections
without any problem. There were some issues with multithreaded access to
the same connection object, but they should be gone now and this is not
the case in EJBs anyway - there is one request per thread.

So, the error you see is somehow related to the configuration of the
data source in the application server itself. I, however, never used Sun
Application Server, so hardly can help you here...
