I have an ancient J2EE app that's started failing intermittently and rarely
with a StaleConnection. The top of the stack trace past the actual method
which fails is like so:

com.ibm.websphere.ce.cm.StaleConnectionException: Communication link
failure. (Connection was dropped unexpectedly.)

com.ibm.ws.rsadapter.jdbc.WSJdbcStatement.executeQuery(WSJdbcStatement.java:898)

... and more.

What changed? "everything and who knows" I'm supporting a client and doing
brain surgery by telegraph here.

My question is, "assuming there is some resource limit here, is it possible
the resource limit is on the IBM i side and there is some value I can try
changing for Db2 or the host servers that will create more connections in
the pool?"
