• could turn idleRemover off?

Resolution

Set idle-timeout-minutes to 0 so that the pool is not registered for the IdleRemover.

Diagnostic Steps

For EAP 6 (ironjacamar 1.0.x), we can check the source code Content from github.com is not included.here:

 130    public void initialize(ManagedConnectionFactory mcf, ConnectionListenerFactory clf, Subject subject,
 131                           ConnectionRequestInfo cri, PoolConfiguration pc, Pool p)
 132    {
  : 
 193       reenable();
 194    }
  :
 264    public void reenable()
 265    {
 266       if (poolConfiguration.getIdleTimeoutMinutes() > 0)
 267       {
 268          //Register removal support
 269          IdleRemover.getInstance().registerPool(this, poolConfiguration.getIdleTimeoutMinutes() * 1000L * 60);
 270       }

For EAP 7 (ironjacamar 1.3.x/1.4.x), the same behavior can be found in Content from github.com is not included.here:

 143    public void initialize(ManagedConnectionFactory mcf, ConnectionManager cm, Subject subject,
 144                           ConnectionRequestInfo cri, PoolConfiguration pc, Pool p)
 145    {
  : 
 182       if (poolConfiguration.getIdleTimeoutMinutes() > 0) 
 183       {
 184          // Register removal support
 185          IdleRemover.getInstance().registerPool(this,
 186                                                 poolConfiguration.getIdleTimeoutMinutes() * 1000L * 60);
 187       }
