Shawn Have you ruled out the JVM running out of memory, or run away threads?
Can I suggest you take a look at JVisualVM. Run it against your test instance and see if you can replicate the problem through usage. Or jconsole, which is a bit less intrusive, against your production instance - both have pretty graphs to monitor heap/threads, and the former allows you to drill down and send a profile to BMC (have they asked for one?). http://www.javasystemsolutions.com/jss/video/view/MidTier-JMX http://www.javasystemsolutions.com/jss/video/view/MidTier-JVisualVM This won't give you the answer, but it may give you some idea of where to look.
