I've been having some trouble with the connection pool to postgres. Even though I've increased the pool size to 100 connections the max postgres will ever use, even under a very heavy load is 5. 30 idle sessions are created but no more than 5 are ever active. It's very strange and for glassfish to be usable I really need more than 5 active database connections. Posted below is the connection pool resource in domain.xml. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
