SORRY, HERE IS THE FULL MAIL Hi Krishnakant,
I think there was a problem with MySQL connections after a certain amount of time. I am assume that you have defined a Datasource within TC and are using a connection pool for the connection. If not, I would highly recommend doing so, especially since your problem could be related to not having a connection pool. If you do have all of the above I would try adding the following parameters to your ressource (within your applicationName.xml file) <ResourceParams name="jdbc/yourJNDIname"> <parameter> <name>url</name> <value>jdbc:mysql://nameOfServer:port/databaseName?autoReconnect=true</value > </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxIdle</name> <value>15</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxActive</name> <value>50</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>driverClassName</name> <value>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>maxWait</name> <value>10000</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>removeAbandoned</name> <value>true</value> </parameter> .... </ResourceParams> You will have to play around with the values provided above but these have worked for me so they might be a reasonable starting point. If this doesn't help, I would suggest searching --> http://lists.mysql.com/java. I think there must be plenty of posts related to your problem.
