Dante - Take a real close look at the application running in Tomcat. I've had similar issues where Tomcat was suddenly using all configured request threads, but they were all waiting on something else to happen. I found the problem to be a minor defect with the DB pooling code from the DB vendor that sometimes causes the pool to hang. The vendor had a fix that solved the problem, for the most part. It took some serious scouring of the threads using jconsole to see where the problem really was. Following the waiting tree really helped identify it. It could very well be a defect in the code running under Tomcat, and not Tomcat's code.
