Answer 1

Looks like you (partially) loose the connection to your database. MySQL tries to send something but the connection is lost.

Another mysql/tomcat user who reported a similiar problem, was adviced to use a connection pool, like c3p0. The user replied that he wanted to use the Mysql/tomcat connection pooling first as described in mysqls reference manual.
