I am trying to diagnose a WebKit crash: my website got a large number of hits yesterday, and apparently WK crashed completely. WK is connected to MySQL on the backend, and the last thing I saw from WK (I cannt telnet to the box to do forensics on WK yet) was a MySQL error: "lost connection to the database". Now, MySQL is still up and running (I am using phpmyadmin so I am sure the system's OK), but I am trying to figure out why WK reacted so badly. One possible reason: in my classes, I am opening a single mysql connection that's instantiated once and passed around to every DB-dependant class. Is it possible that a WK crash closed this connection and then the servlets cannot re-open it? if so, is there a work-around for this? Even more general, possible OT: am I better off performance wise, to re-use the same DB connection, or instead open up one per-servlet instance or something?
