We have a Java application deployed with Java Web Start. Occasionally, users are reporting the following exception:

java.lang****ntimeException: no free cache item: cache size = 64(64)
java.sql.SQLException: java.lang****ntimeException: no free cache item: cache size = 64(64)
at com.quadcap.sql.DbException.wrapThrowable(DbExcept ion.java:79)
…

I have reviewed the database calls and it appears each connection is ultimately closed with the close() function.

I have tried to increase the cache size by using:

Properties p = new Properties();
p.setProperty("cacheSize", "128");

When I try that, though, I get this exception:
