I have an application that is running on tomcat. I have observed that if i bring up tomcat and leave it running without accessing the application for sometime , tomcat dies on it's own. The only thing i see in the logs is the following message about 5 or 6 times before it dies: 2001-04-05 04:39:49 - ContextManager: SocketException reading request, ignored - java.net.SocketExce ption: Connection reset by peer at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketAvailable(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.available(PlainSocketImpl.java:429) at java.net.SocketInputStream.available(SocketInputStream.java:141) at org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler.processConnection(HttpC onnectionHand ler.java:214) at org.apache.tomcat.service.TcpWorkerThread.runIt(PoolTcpEndpoint.java:416) at org.apache.tomcat.util.ThreadPool$ControlRunnable.run(ThreadPool.java:498) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:479) can anybody provide some clues ?? I am running tomcat 3.2.1 on solaris. Thanks in advance Srini
