Thanks for the help.  Problem has been resolved!  Comments inline.


| a) downgrade to MySQL Connector/J 5.0.8 and see if this fixes it;

This may fix your problem, but probably not.

Confirmed, this had no effect.

| b) add a while (!verified && attempts<2) type loop in getConnection() | method to query the DB using a minimal query and then catch the first
| dead connection.

Using 'validationQuery' achieves the same goal without modifying your
code (which is always nice).


I've used the validation query within the <Resource> as you suggested. This has stopped the "first connection after a while is a dead one" problem, and all is well in the land of my webapp!

Thanks all for the tips.
