[opencms-dev] Dealing with lost database connection

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Yves,
sure you can make opencms aware of lost of database and even send an 
email or sms to admin group and provide a user friendly page to the 
online users that the app has problems with connecting to the database 
(but it doesn't help with only one database server).
Where high availability is required we are using also clustered app 
servers with hardware load balancers and clustered databases (and 
opencms provides connection pooling settings for this).
Best,
Arash
