InnoDb Transaction timeout

[Olivier Poitrey]

Hello,

I'm having a problem with Connector/J (stable and beta versions) and
InnoDb Transactions.

I'm trying to lock on a single row for update before doing some long
time stuff (XML-RPC call) then updating and commit. The problem is
that after the XML-RPC call, the SQL connection seems closed, and I'm
getting the following exception "java.sql.SQLException: Communication
link failure: java.io.EOFException, underlying cause: null".

It's really easy to reproduce it by replacing the XML-RPC call by
a Thread.sleep(10000) for instance.

I didn't mentione that my SQL code works well without the slow code
part (or the sleep), so it really looks like a timeout
problem... In that direction, I tried raising all MySQL timeouts
variables like innodb_lock_wait_timeout or net_*_timeout but nothing
seems to works...

I'm really clueless, is someone got this pb before ? Is there
a workaround or is my code buggy ?

Thx for you help.

Here is the code:

Connection connection = null;

try
{
connection = Vdatabase.getConnection();
connection.setAutoCommit(false);

PreparedStatement lock_stmt =
connection.prepareStatement("SELECT flag FROM table WHERE field=? FOR UPDATE");
lock_stmt.setString(1, "something");
ResultSet rs = lock_stmt.executeQuery();

// replacing the code with a sleep illustrates the fact
// that the code is not the cause of the problem here
Thread.sleep(10000);

PreparedStatement updt_stmt =
connection.prepareStatement("UPDATE table SET flag=1 WHERE field=?");
updt_stmt.setString(1, "something");
updt_stmt.execute();

connection.commit();
}
finally
{
if(connection != null)
{
try
{
connection.close();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
// ignore
}
}
}

Then the full exception:

java.sql.SQLException: Communication link failure: java.io.EOFException, underlying cause: null
