If possible, it would be best to upgrade to the latest version of both
of these packages: Java 1.6.0_36 and Tomcat 7.0.30. There are several
important security fixes in both of those (relative to where you are now).

Your thread dump attachment was stripped from the list. Can you
copy/paste it into a follow post?

It's hard to guess without the thread dump, but my initial reaction is
that it's connection-pool exhaustion, but you said that your
connection pool seems healthy.

I see from your server.xml that you are using UserDatabaseRealm: is
that actually in use in production? It's probably an inappropriate
component to use for anything but the most trivial configuration (like
maybe the Tomcat manager app). Are you using any kind of <Realm> or
<Resource> specifically configured in in your webapp's context.xml?
That would also be good to know.

If you are using JDBCRealm, you may have hit an edge case that causes
some kind of deadlock (but again, you say there are no deadlocks).

There were some fixes to the NIO and APR connectors recently (and your
version of Tomcat is now more than a year out-of-date) that fixed
apparent deadlocks but I'm not sure if those extended into the BIO
realm. I can't see anything in the changelog that would indicate a fix
to the BIO connector that would affect you.

Again, it's very difficult to speculate without some more data, so
sending that thread dump (especially if you can give us several thread
dumps over a few minutes) will definitely help.
