FWIW in my case, deployed stack is:
Java 1.4, Tomcat 5.0, Cayenne 1.2, Sybase driver (jconn2.jar -- but I've
seen lots of different file sizes for this around here, so who knows what
version), and Cayenne is managing the connection pools (no J2EE "goodness"
or JNDI through Tomcat).
For us, it's always been after the application has been running a week or
more. It is a low-volume utility application, but has threads which poll
the DBs at least once/hour looking for new updates.
One thing I haven't tried doing, but could be interesting, is seeing how
deeply the application is affected. It accesses 5 different Sybase DBs
(identical schemas and polls all of them). In the past, when we noticed a
problem with it doing an insert, I'd just restart it. Next time it happens,
I should change DataContexts to one of the other DBs and see if it has the
same problem, too. Unfortunately, it isn't repeatable for me. There have
been times it took over a month for the problem to appear.
