MySQl and autoReconnect=true still gives me exception

Question

I'm using Spring and Hibernate with MySQL and I have a problem with its timeout. I used autoReconnect=true at the end of database URL but I still receive the exception like this below:

2016-08-03 01:01:00 - SCHEDULED ACTIVITY TO DELETE OLD NOTIFICATIONS

You should consider either expiring and/or testing connection validity before use in your application, increasing the server configured values for client timeouts, or using the Connector/J connection property 'autoReconnect=true' to avoid this problem.

This is the database bean configuration:

public class AppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter implements AsyncConfigurer
   ....
   @Bean(name = "dataSource")
       public BasicDataSource dataSource() {
           BasicDataSource ds = new BasicDataSource();
           ds.setDriverClassName(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_DRIVER));
           ds.setUrl(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_URL));
           ds.setUsername(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_USERNAME));
           ds.setPassword(env.getRequiredProperty(PROPERTY_NAME_DATABASE_PASSWORD));
           return ds;
    }

In my application.properties I have

#DB properties: 
db.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
db.url=jdbc:mysql://dbAddress:3306/schemaName?autoReconnect=true
db.username=username
db.password=password

How can I avoid this tedious exception?Thanks

UPDATE : I add

ds.setValidationQuery("SELECT 1");

to my configuration, now I have to see if the exception will be thrown again

Answer 1

You see the following link about the exception :- Why does Hibernate/JDBC/MySQL drop connections after a day or so?

Try to using the setting following property in hibernate configuration

1. property name="connection.autoReconnect" = true
2. property name="connection.autoReconnectForPools"= true
3. property name="connection.is-connection-validation-required" = true

If do not want to use the autoReconnect and wait_time , then go for the ,its is only the suggestion, schedular.

Make the scheduler which run after every 7 hours and run some test query.This make the MySql server active forever.
