we have a [Hibernate + c3p0 + MySQL] config for our project. We are hitting the following exception:

com.mchange.v2.resourcepool.CannotAcquireResourceException: A ResourcePool could not acquire a resource from its primary factory or source.

Our c3p0 config:

<bean id="provDataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource" destroy-method="close">
…
        <property name="acquireIncrement" value="1" />
        <property name="idleConnectionTestPeriod" value="100"/>
        <property name="minPoolSize" value="5" />
        <property name="maxPoolSize" value="50" />
        <property name="maxIdleTime" value="1800" />
</bean>

Note that we also have another similar c3p0 datasource configured on top of this MySQL instance.

Can anyone give me some suggestions on how to debug this?

Although not strictly answering your question, I didn't want to add code in the comments as code in comments is unreadable.

Here is an example config of MySQL with C3P0 from my project. note all the extra parameters to make sure the connections don't die. (In the end I went with Postgres because it didn't kill my connections and was more stable generally, also having to retest connections with select 1; isn't very efficient)

<bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"
     destroy-method="close">
  <property name="driverClass" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}"/>
  <property name="jdbcUrl" value="${jdbc.url}"/>
  <property name="properties">
    <props>
        <prop key="c3p0.minPoolSize">0</prop>
        <prop key="hc3p0.maxPoolSize">1000</prop>
        <prop key="hc3p0.timeout">3000</prop>
        <prop key="c3p0.acquire_increment">10</prop>
        <prop key="c3p0.max_statement">50</prop>

        <prop key="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period">60</prop>
        <prop key="c3p0.preferredTestQuery">SELECT 1;</prop>
        <prop key="hibernate.c3p0.testConnectionOnCheckout">false</prop>
        <prop key="user">${jdbc.username}</prop>
        <prop key="password">${jdbc.password}</prop>
    </props>
  </property>
</bean>
