 Description   
Currently i2b2 1.7 uses the following validations for its default installations which are not ideal.

<validation>
    <validate-on-match>false</validate-on-match>
    <background-validation>false</background-validation>
</validation>

If we encounter a situation in which a connection in the pool goes bad we will continue to use that connection which will cause errors in i2b2. The better solution would be to use validation.

<validation>
    <validate-on-match>true</validate-on-match>
    <check-valid-connection-sql>SELECT 1 FROM DUAL</check-valid-connection-sql>
    <use-fast-fail>true</use-fast-fail>
</validation>

Obviously the sql will change per database engine but it should be easy to configure based on each of the datasources defined ie "SELECT 1" for MSSQL

This change was made to the databases in the testing environment 3 months ago and was tested throughout the process of testing the 1.7.10 release.
