is it possible to get the same connection from connection pool with the context? - spring-boot

Is it possible to get the same connection from the connection pool with the context?
Basically you can think of this scenario to understand the reason of the question; I have a Spring Boot app, within that Spring Boot app, there are RESTful services. When there is a request to RESTful services, I get the current connection via Aspect programming and I execute a stored procedure to set user details, so that I can use the user details in DB within the connection.
Currently there is an unwanted behavior; and that can occur if the two request to the RESTful services are executed within the same connection. This unwanted behavior happens rarely, so I assumed that two different requests are executed within the same connection.

How to isolate connection pools per user

I want to have multiple hikari cp connection pools for same database as usual.
Then I would like to isolate these connection pools against specific user logins (which ofcourse by using the user attributes available in http request)
How to dynamically implement this in spring. (I am not having conceptual understanding how spring autoconfiguration handles the incoming requests and assigns the db connection pools)

Parallel processing in multiple instances of spring boot application

I am not able to analyse, how to go ahead. I am using Spring boot 2, Oracle, IBM MQ.
I have made 2 async requests to external applications. I need to do some operation when I have received both of the responses.
I am not able to set it up as there are multiple instances of application running and listening to same queue for response.
I tried using #transactional and cyclic barrier. But I guess they will work only in scope of their own instance and not between multiple instances.
How should I proceed ahead?
It is also really difficult to reproduce the scenario where one message is read by one instance and other by other instance that too at the same time, where they eventually try to update db at same time.

Jax rs client pool

I am working on setting up a REST Client using jax-rs 2 client API.
In the api doc it says "Clients are heavy-weight objects that manage the client-side communication infrastructure. Initialization as well as disposal of a Client instance may be a rather expensive operation. It is therefore advised to construct only a small number of Client instances in the application." (https://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/api/javax/ws/rs/client/Client.html). As per this statement it sounds like Client is not thread-safe and i should not be using single Client instance for all requests.
I am using CXF implementation, so far i didn't find a way to set up pool for Client objects.
If anyone has any information reg this could you please share.
Thanks in advance.
By default, CXF uses a transport based on the in-JDK HttpURLConnection object to perform HTTP requests.
Connection pooling is performed allowing persistent connections to reuse the underlying socket connection for multiple http requests.
Set these system properties to configure the pool(default values)
http.keepalive=true
http.maxConnections=5
Increment the value of http.maxConnections to set the maximum number of idle connections that will be simultaneously kept alive, per destination. See in this link the complete list of properties properties.html
In this post are explained some detail how it works
Java HttpURLConnection and pooling
Note also that the default JAX-RS client is not thread-safe by default. Check the limitations for proper use here
When you need many requests executed simultaneosly CXF can also use the asynchronous apache HttpAsyncClient. Ser details here

Spring Data when does it connect to the database

I have been researching Spring Data Rest especially for cassandra and one of the questions my coworkers and I had was when does Spring Data connect to the database. We don't always want a rest controller to connect to the database so when does spring establish a connection if say we had a class extend the CRUDRepository? Does it connect to the database during the start of application itself? Is that something we can control?
For example, I implemented this example on Spring's website:
https://spring.io/guides/gs/accessing-data-rest/
At what point in the code does spring connect to the database?
Spring will connect to the DB as soon as the Datasource get initialized. Basically, Spring contexts will become alive somehow (Web listeners, manually calling them) and start creating beans. As soon as it reaches the Datasource, connection will be made and the connection pool will be populated.
Of course the above is based on a normal out of the box configuration and everything can be setup up to your taste.
So unless, you decide to control the connections yourself, DB connections will be sitting there waiting to be used.
Disagree with the above answer.
As part of research i initiated the datasource using a bean configuration and then changed my database password(not in my spring application but the real db username password)
The connection stays for a while and then in some point of time (maybe idle time) it stops working and throws credential exception.
This is enough to say the JPA does not keep the connection sitting and waiting to be used but uses some mechanism to occupy/release the db connection as per the need.

Spring without views

I am new to spring and so not sure if what I intend to do is possible.
I need to create an asynchronous webservice and a worker server (broker), both using the model & controller aspects of spring.
The webservice needs to send it's client's requests on to the broker via JMS and then instantly send a response back to the client indicating the request has been queued.
The broker is intended to remain live, processing messages from multiple webservice instances and sending back the results via an output JMS queue. The reason the broker needs to remain live is because the work to process each webservice message involves calling other webservices, some of which may be asynchronous and which may take a lot of time to process.
Additionally I do not want to spawn multiple instances of the broker as it is designed to handle multiple concurrent messages.
Is it possible to create both the webservice and broker within the same spring project, with both running in a web container such as tomcat or do I need to code them in separate projects, with perhaps the broker as a traditional standalone server rather than a web container servlet?
If so could someone point me in the right direction to creating a stay-alive broker within spring/tomcat.
I understand the webservice and JMS side of things, so do not need any help with that.
