Hi,
I have a web application running on Tomcat4.1, using postgresql 7.5 database. Hibernate 2.1.x is being used along with jdbc driver pg74.1jdbc3.jar for mapping database.

The application dumps the following error in the following cases:
1. The postgres process is restarted.
2. The network connection between the machine running postgres and tomcat has been reset.

Hibernate data source property ( hibernate.connection.datasource) is being used for identifying the database.

Any idea how to make tomcat reconnect to the database with out any problems ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
