It's possible too that Oracle has hit a limit either on total connections or the connections for that schema.
To check how many connections exist in oracle via sqlplus: select count(*) from v$session; Default on 10g is 170 I believe but that is from memory. A specific ORA code would give more info. The other option is to get debug output for Oracle login attempts in Tomcat. Log username/password for every Oracle jdbc login attempt?
