找到了一个关于c3p0的配置

<!--c3p0将建一张名为Test的空表，并使用其自带的查询语句进行测试。如果定义了这个参数那么
属性preferredTestQuery将被忽略。你不能在这张Test表上进行任何操作，它将只供c3p0测试

<!--获取连接失败将会引起所有等待连接池来获取连接的线程抛出异常。但是数据源仍有效

<!--JDBC的标准参数，用以控制数据源内加载的PreparedStatements数量。但由于预缓存的statements

<property name="maxStatements">100</property>
<!--maxStatementsPerConnection定义了连接池内单个连接所拥有的最大缓存statements数。Default: 0 -->
<property name="maxStatementsPerConnection"></property>
<!--c3p0是异步操作的，缓慢的JDBC操作通过帮助进程完成。扩展这些操作可以有效的提升性能

<property name="overrideDefaultPassword">password</property>

<!--因性能消耗大请只在需要的时候使用它。如果设为true那么在每个connection提交的

<!--早期的c3p0版本对JDBC接口采用动态反射代理。在早期版本用途广泛的情况下这个参数

=====================
报错误：
APPARENT DEADLOCK!!! Creating emergency threads for unassigned pending tasks!
一般设置maxStatements=0解决该问题
但是：
把max_statements设置为0。
c3p0在同时关闭statement和connection的时候，或者关闭他们之间的时间很短的时候，有时候connection并没有被关闭，因为有些preparedstatement还在被cached住。这是c3p0的作者自己说的。
http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=947246&highlight=apparent+deadlock+c3p0
C3P0增加以下配置信息:
//set to 'SELECT 1'
preferredTestQuery = 'SELECT 1'
//set to something much less than wait_timeout, prevents connections from going stale
idleConnectionTestPeriod = 18000
//set to something slightly less than wait_timeout, preventing 'stale' connections from being handed out
maxIdleTime = 25000
//if you can take the performance 'hit', set to "true"
testConnectionOnCheckout = true
A c3p0 pool with the settings you have should recover from a database reset, but that doesn't mean you will never see an Exception. Stale Connections from the old database session will still be broken, and if those Connections have already been checked out, or if they are in the pool and not tested on checkout, the application will see the broken Connection, in the form of an Exception.
You can use c3p0 to minimize the likelihood that your application will see a stale Connection on database shutdown/restart. The most reliable means of preventing this is to set hibernate.c3p0.validate to true (in a hibernate application -- all other c3p0 apps should use the c3p0-native property c3p0.testConnectionOnCheckout). If you set this property to true, c3p0 will test Connections prior to checkout, and your app will never see a stale Connection on database restart unless the Connection had already been checked out when the database went down.
Another less reliable, but potentially less expensive, strategy is to set c3p0.testConnectionsOnCheckin and hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period (c3p0-native c3p0.idleConnectionTestPeriod) to a low value, in which case all connection tests are asynchronous and you are guanteed that no Connection will be checked out that hasn't been tested in the last idle_test_period seconds. Thus, your app will only see broken Connections from the pool if Connections are checked out during a short window of time.
In either case, I recommend setting "c3p0.preferredTestQuery" or "c3p0.automaticTestTable" in your c3p0 properties file, as c3p0's default Connection test is often slow.
See "Configuring Connection Testing" in c3p0's docs for more information.
在使用c3p0作为连接池时，其中的一些配置参数需要修改。主要是maxIdleTime和idleConnectionTestPeriod。 MySQL默认是8小时（28800秒）后自动关闭已打开的连接，所以c3p0要在8小时内关闭不使用的连接，上面的2参数要小于28800秒。附上在 hibernate中配置c3p0的关键字。
c3p0-native property name hibernate configuration key
c3p0.acquireIncrement hibernate.c3p0.acquire_increment
c3p0.idleConnectionTestPeriod hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period
c3p0.initialPoolSize not available -- uses minimum size
c3p0.maxIdleTime hibernate.c3p0.timeout
c3p0.maxPoolSize hibernate.c3p0.max_size
c3p0.maxStatements hibernate.c3p0.max_statements
c3p0.minPoolSize hibernate.c3p0.min_size
