It gets resolve after restarting the tomcat.

I am properly closing the connections but unable to understand the reason for this bug.

Here is the description of the configurations that I made in tomcat context file,

type="javax.sql.DataSource"

maxActive="100"

maxIdle="30"

maxWait="10000"

testOnBorrow="true"

testWhileIdle="true"

driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"

If anyone have some idea then plz tell me.
