połączenie z tomcat zostało przerwane po okresie bezczynności

Rozwiązałem ten problem za pomocą c3p0 pula połączeń

<bean id="dataSource" class="com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource"
        destroy-method="close" p:driverClass="${jdbc.driverClassName}"
        p:jdbcUrl="${jdbc.url}" p:user="${jdbc.username}" p:password="${jdbc.password}"
        p:preferredTestQuery="select 1 from dual" p:idleConnectionTestPeriod="300"
        p:maxStatements="100" p:acquireRetryAttempts="1" p:checkoutTimeout="1000"
        p:testConnectionOnCheckout="true" p:testConnectionOnCheckin="true"
        p:acquireIncrement="${c3p0.acquire_increment}" p:minPoolSize="${c3p0.min_size}"
        p:maxPoolSize="${c3p0.max_size}" p:maxIdleTime="${c3p0.max_idle_time}"

        p:unreturnedConnectionTimeout="${c3p0.unreturned_connection_timeout}" />

plik DB.properties:
