Don't know what's going wrong. Pls help me get rid of this warning as its causing other problems.

Answer 1

From my research this is related to a stale connection or not closing connections correctly. I have found related ticket here . Please review and let me know if that helps. If not can you provide more information of your environment. Tomcat Fullversion? Looks like your using hibernate. What version? Are there any other errors like maybe in your application logging that could be related?
