There are some databases that do go in and periodically kill off connections,
aside from the Tomcat settings.
In addition to testOnBorrow=true, I also had two other attributes, but not sure
if Tomcat 7.0 uses them or not, as I'm on 6.0.29.
testOnBorrow="true"
timeBetweenEvictionRunsMillis="-1"
minEvictableIdleTimeMillis="28800"

There could be a number of reasons that this occurs. Perhaps a network issue
is causing them to be disconnected or the database may be timing them out. At
any rate, it's not likely that the problem would be caused by the
"removeAbandoned" / "abandonedTimeout" settings, unless you application is not
properly returning connections to the connection pool.

You probably want to add testOnBorrow="true" and "validationQuery=SELECT 1"
(or some other valid query for your DB). See the following link for an
explanation of those properties.
https://commons.apache.org/dbcp/configuration.html
This will cause your connections to be validated prior to their use by your
application. Stale connections will be removed and replaced with new, working
connections.

No. See either of the links I've referenced above for an explanation of these
settings.

There's no "minActive" setting. You have "minIdle", but I don't think that
would help here.
