Ibatis throttle - possible deadlock (ibatis 2.2, 2.3)

All,

I wanted to let you know my experience with this issue.  We saw the same issues and deadlocks that others have reported, especially under heavy loads.

As Clinton suggested, we looked to verify we were using the proper transaction pattern (start, commit, end) in the right try…catch…finally blocks.  It was there that we noticed within the transaction block a bit of code that took a lot of time to run and did not need to be in the transaction block.  Removing that code to outside the transaction and thus tightening up the transaction block really helped.  Just FYI in case anyone else is seeing this issue.

Regards,

Eric
