There is an issue iam trying to resolve regarding a webservice we are running on stage and production which accesses a database.

The webservice basically involves a SOAP http request and response.

This request works sometimes but most of the time it fails when accessed from within a client as a separate thread.

It returns a status code of 503 which can mean a number of things. One can be if the dB connection was either broken or no connection was available for the pool used. In this case it will just return a 503. The server logs do not give any error messages so I checked this from the database end to narrow down the reason for this failure.

I am looking for some help with regards to any connection pool set up.

Is there a way to know if a dB connection was not serviced for any reason?

and how can we avoid broken connections between the Application server and the dB? If dB pooling is set up shouldn't it provide a connection?
