I was facing an issue with Bonecp 0.7.1 on a Playframework app using postgresql 9.2.4 on Heroku. It seems this version had a DB connection leak causing after several DB accesses the folllwing error :
[error] c.j.b.h.AbstractConnectionHook - Failed to acquire connection Sleeping for 1000ms and trying again. Attempts left: 1. Exception: null.Message:FATAL: too many connections for role "eonqhnjenuislk" Database warning
[error] c.j.b.PoolWatchThread - Error in trying to obtain a connection. Retrying in 1000ms
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: too many connections for role "eonqhnjenuislk"

As every threads of the connection pool was acquired and retained, the application was not reachable anymore until I restarted it.
Then I heard that this issue was corrected in Bonecp 0.8.0, so I upgraded the lib. But the issue seems not to be completely fixed. In fact, now connection threads are not retained anymore what make the application reachable at anytime but sometimes a DB connection close suddenly... The app throws the following error causing an 500 error to the end users :
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: This connection has been closed.

Thanks a lot for your help!
EDIT :
DB configuration :
db.default.isolation=READ_COMMITTED
db.default.partitionCount=2
db.default.maxConnectionsPerPartition=10
db.default.minConnectionsPerPartition=5
db.default.acquireIncrement=1
db.default.acquireRetryAttempts=2
db.default.acquireRetryDelay=5 seconds
db.default.connectionTimeout=10 second
db.default.idleMaxAge=10 minute
db.default.idleConnectionTestPeriod=5 minutes
db.default.initSQL="SELECT 1"
db.default.maxConnectionAge=1 hour
EDIT 2:
Here is the DB config I set according to this post Heroku/Play/BoneCp connection issues These changes reduce the number of "This connection has been closed" issues, but I still get 1 or 2 of them perdays what makes some HTTP requests to fail. So the issue is still not fixed:
db.default.isolation=READ_COMMITTED
db.default.partitionCount=2
db.default.maxConnectionsPerPartition=10
db.default.minConnectionsPerPartition=5
db.default.acquireIncrement=1
db.default.acquireRetryAttempts=2
db.default.acquireRetryDelay=5 seconds
db.default.connectionTimeout=10 seconds
db.default.idleMaxAge=10 minutes
db.default.idleConnectionTestPeriod=30 seconds
db.default.initSQL="SELECT 1"
db.default.maxConnectionAge=30 minutes
