title: How to configure c3po+hibernate to fail all requests in a specified interval until database is back up?
body: <p>I am trying to application db (Mysql) fail proof. I have successfully reached a stage where in case of any form of network outage, my db layer will throw an exception. Now I am stuck at how to re-attempt connections once the database is back up. I am using c3po as my connection pool manager. I have set the <code>breakAfterAcquireFailure = true</code> since I want to disable db calls in case of failures. However, when the database is back up, the connection acquiring attempts still fail due to this property(as expected). Is there any other configuration parameter which can override this after a certain interval? </p>
  
  <p>I know that I can always write a mechanism to poll the db periodically, but wanted to know if there's a configuration support for this.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks  </p>
