If we don't restart, the users cannot access the application.
It is java based (I think) and they blame it on the SQL server (of
course) which is an entirely different server.
I am looking in the tomcat log files from days past.
But I'm not sure which log files contain the errors I should be looking
for.
Is it the catalina files or the stderr files?

What happens if you /don't/ restart? Aren't there log messages that
would be enough to convince them there's a problem?

Here's one from lambdaprobe running on my production server (on
Tomcat 6.0.x) -- "UP for 328 days 19 hours 34 minutes"

One example of *not* requiring weekly restarts  :-)

FWIW,
