Has anyone else noticed a large number of TIME_WAIT connection when using jdbcthin and Oracle 7 on Solaris. Our server-side application make connections to the database to support user requests at a pretty regular frequency, but when running 'netstat -a|grep TIME_WAIT' we are seeing 300-800 connections waiting to be cleaned up by the OS.

What is causing this? And is it normal?

Our code is very careful to commit all work after each transaction and close the connection!

Thanks for your help
