<strong>NOTE</strong>: If maxIdle is set too low on heavily loaded systems it is
possible you will see connections being closed and almost immediately new
connections being opened. This is a result of the active threads momentarily
closing connections faster than they are opening them, causing the number of
idle connections to rise above maxIdle. The best value for maxIdle for heavily
loaded system will vary but the default is a good starting point.

This component has also the ability to pool PreparedStatements.
When enabled a statement pool will be created for each Connection
and PreparedStatements created by one of the following methods will be pooled:
<ul>
<li>public PreparedStatement prepareStatement(String sql)</li>
<li>public PreparedStatement prepareStatement(String sql, int resultSetType, int resultSetConcurrency)</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
<img src="images/icon_warning_sml.gif"/>
<strong>NOTE</strong> - Make sure your connection has some resources left for the other statements.
Pooling PreparedStatements may keep their cursors open in the database, causing a connection to run out of cursors,
especially if maxOpenPreparedStatements is left at the default (unlimited) and an application opens a large number
of different PreparedStatements per connection. To avoid this problem, maxOpenPreparedStatements should be set to a
value less than the maximum number of cursors that can be open on a Connection.

<table>
<hr><th>Parameter</th><th>Default</th><th>Description</th></hr><tr>
<td>accessToUnderlyingConnectionAllowed</td>
<td>false</td>
<td>Controls if the PoolGuard allows access to the underlying connection.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>When allowed you can access the underlying connection using the following construct:</p>
<source>
Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
Connection dconn = ((DelegatingConnection) conn).getInnermostDelegate();
...
conn.close()
</source>
<p>
<img src="images/icon_info_sml.gif"/>
Default is false, it is a potential dangerous operation and misbehaving programs can do harmfull things. (closing the underlying or continue using it when the guarded connection is already closed)
Be carefull and only use when you need direct access to driver specific extentions.
</p>
<p>
<img src="images/icon_warning_sml.gif"/>
<b>NOTE:</b> Do not close the underlying connection, only the original one.

<tr>
<td>removeAbandoned</td>
<td>false</td>
<td>
Flag to remove abandoned connections if they exceed the
removeAbandonedTimout.<br/>
If set to true a connection is considered abandoned and eligible
for removal if it has been idle longer than the removeAbandonedTimeout.
Setting this to true can recover db connections from poorly written
applications which fail to close a connection.
</td>
</tr>

<td>300</td>
<td>Timeout in seconds before an abandoned connection can be removed.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>logAbandoned</td>
<td>false</td>
<td>
Flag to log stack traces for application code which abandoned
a Statement or Connection.<br/>
Logging of abandoned Statements and Connections adds overhead
for every Connection open or new Statement because a stack
trace has to be generated.
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>
<img src="images/icon_info_sml.gif"/>
If you have enabled "removeAbandoned" then it is possible that a connection is reclaimed by the pool because it is considered to be abandoned.
This mechanism is triggered when (getNumIdle() &lt; 2) and (getNumActive() &gt; getMaxActive() - 3)
</p>
<p>
<img src="images/icon_info_sml.gif"/>
For example maxActive=20 and 18 active connections and 1 idle connection would trigger the "removeAbandoned".
But only the active connections that aren't used for more then "removeAbandonedTimeout" seconds are removed,
default (300 sec). Traversing a resultset doesn't count as being used.
