I know this may be a little out of context but have you tried using JCONSOLE to monitor Tomcat? It's a nice little GUI and can easily show you the threads, the stack trace and Locking conditions. I'm no expert, I just started using it in the last week or so. It's pretty easy to set up to monitor a JVM like Tomcat when JCONSOLE and TOMCAT are running on the same machine. That is how I've been using it. There is a little more to set up if JCONSOLE and TOMCAT are on different machine which I have not tried yet.
Just a thought, sorry if I'm out of line. Note: JCONSOLE is part of the JVM so no additional product needs to be installed or purchased.

You'll see several (possibly many) threads in a WAITING condition, which usually just means they're ready to accept work from some other thread. You'll need to look at the others. Comparison with a thread dump from a normally running Tomcat instance may be of some help. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
