Blogging Roller

CQHost took me down for a while because I had misconfigured my web.xml and Resin was trying to write log files to the wrong place. It took a while to get back up and running, but now I'm back.

During the downtime, I configured connection pooling for Roller by using the MM MySQL JDBC driver's MySQLConnectionPoolDataSource and by configuring Castor and Velocity to look up their datasources via JNDI. The performance improvement is wonderful - I've gone from 15-20 second page loads to 2-5 second loads on rollerweblogger.org and down to 1 second page load on my homebox.
