java.sql.SQLException: Closed Connection: next

[Ravi Challapalli]

Hi,
I am encoutering the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: Closed Connection: next

My code calls a Oracle stored procedure which returns a cursor back with the results of some queries. The procedure also does some inserts in to audit tables which are commited by the App Server Transaction container as part of the EJB. The retrieved cursor is processed in the EJB which takes quite some time before the JDBC statement object is closed and the container commits the transaction.

Below is the stack trace of the exception:

Whatever you're doing, by the time you need to fetch more via next() the connection to the server has obviously terminated.

Maybe it timed out or was killed, but there's no way to tell w/ just the exception.

What's the timeout limit of connections (check w/ the administrator)?
Is your process is intensive or involves huge transactions? Maybe it was it killed by an administrator/administrative process?
