good to know, thanks.

Misconfigured? Maybe not configured quite yet as I only have 2 months
experience with Tomcat/TomEE. I think the 404 is caused by a query (or
update logic) that runs too long, and agreed, I'm sure some optimizing
is in order, but the endusers don't report this to me at all, as they
are a bit new to using a web application (as they have been using an
MS-DOS dBase IV app ever since 1994/1995; that app just recently got
migrated to a JSF web application, they have been using it since July
2012, and they are quite pleased with the web app), and I do my best
to monitor the logs for exceptions that need to be fixed, and poll the
users about their experience with the app.

I may be the only one that experience the 404 at times. In reading
some of today's responses, I am in full agreement that some
queries/logic may need to be reworked, and definitely endusers will
probably never view/read 35,000 objects on a single http request. As
the developer of the web app, I am probably the only person
selecting-and-viewing 35,000 objects in a single http request. The
data is primarily filtered and/or selected by date, and most-case
scenario, they are selecting data for one date in time, but sometimes,
they may select data via a small range of dates.

I think the user-requested database updates may be the cause, as
google calendar API is used to strategically synchronize
certain/selected data in the database with the organization's google
calendar...so certain employees can view 'the schedule' on their
mobile phones and tablets.
