reading from socket, usually not a problem.

This one actually looks like a problem, was the server under load as
you created the dump, or did you removed the load first?
If there were no external requests to the server, you most probably
have an infinite loop somewhere (how stable is xfire anyway?) or you
have a really really really large xml file to parse. If there were
requests to the server as you took the dump, you might just happen to
catch this part of the execution. In this case you should remove the
traffic first and create a dump afterwards (of course only if the load
remains after the traffic is cut off)

note that the XFire path is almost identical.
Personally I neved managed to catch healthy code in something like
String.equals(), but it may be possible, even imho unlikeable.

The dump looks healthy, but is it the dump from the tomcat 5.5 or tomcat 6?
Because if tomcat 6 is the problem and the dump is from tomcat 5 its useless :-)

you need more research :-) For now it looks like your first tomcat is
waiting for the second tomcat which just can't handle the requests as
fast as its expected. You may want to check configuration options of
both (threads in the connector etc).
Also the heap dump of the second tomcat would be useful (if this one
is from first).
And a thread dump shortly after the traffic has gone (for example kill
first tomcat, wait 1 minute, make thread dump).
