I think you are running into a MySQL database connection timeout. You can use a MySQL admin interface (command line, PHPAdmin, MySQL Workbench, etc.) to verify the idle connection timeout limit.

There have been comments on the web concerning this. One such discussion and a solution are here:

http://lists.mysql.com/java/6578

The explanation of the parameters given in the above link can be found here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/connector-j-reference-configuration-properties.html

Based on those two references, you'll need to modify your Realm database URL:

connectionURL="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/yucca123_thejarbar&autoReconnect=true&reconnectAtTxEnd=true"

Note, I have not tried this, so test before production.

The other solution mentioned is to use a DataSource Realm. This requires you to configure a JNDI datasource describing your database connection as well as the DataSource Realm.

You can add all of this information in your web application's META-INF/context.xml file if it's application-specific.

If this is a host or service-based definition, then you'll have to define the JNDI resources in a GlobalNamingResources element. See the following:

http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/config/globalresources.html

Note the warning that this resource will not be available to an individual web application unless you use a ResourceLink in your META-INF/context.xml file. See the globalresources link above for an example.

Since you're using this connection for container managed authentication and authorization, I'm not sure why your web application would need access to this resource.

However, it's 3 am, so I may have missed a few points that Chuck, Charles, or Pid will be happy to correct.

To summarize - it seems the easiest fix is to add the following properties to your JDBC url:

autoReconnect=true
reconnectAtTxEnd=true

Add them to the end of the URL, connected with ampersands.

I hope this gets you up and running.

. . . . . just my two cents

May be missing something...
