Really? "-m immediate" should boot backends off lock waits in any case
... and does according to my tests. Whether Jboss notices the
connections dropping right away might be another story. What are you
observing as a "not closed" connection?
I wouldn't personally use "-m immediate" for this purpose mind you.
"-m fast" is safer and should have the same result.
