I feel compelled to also mention that I have rebooted the system, with
still the same effect.

Hello.


I am currently developing a JSP webapp for my employer, andhave run
into a couple of serious problems.

Randomly, tomcat seems to be losing it's ability to connect to the
mySQL server running on the same server as Tomcat.

Scenario:

This morning I was using the webapp no problem. I made a small change
to correct a typo in some displayed text, and then re-deployed the
webapp. Upon attempting to log into the webapp I was unable to connect
to the database. I recieved the below error.

Steps Taken:

I have restarted both Tomcat and mySQL, with no change. I have double
checked my source code, and I do not think the issue is with the
source itself. I have attempted re-deploying the webapp, including an
archived, known good version. The result was the same exception posted
above.

I can log into the mySQL database from the command-line without any
issue at all.

Thank you in advance for any help.
