I experienced a similar problem in an application that I was developing. I was using a MySQL database though. I solved the problem by adding:
?autoReconnect=true to the JDBC URL. That said, I also upgraded my MySQL Connector to 3.0.9 becase a colleague noticed this comment in the ChangeLog http://www.mysql.com/downloads/api-jdbc-stable.html "Don't fire connection closed events when closing pooled connections, or on PooledConnection.getConnection() with already open connections (BUG#884)."
