Tomcat SocketException

["Stevenson, David" <Da...@westgroup.com>]

We have a web application that runs under Tomcat 3.2.2 (3.2.3?) and
communicates
with another Tomcat instance, version 3.1.1 representing a Workflow manager
application.

$ uname -a
SunOS <hostname> 5.8 Generic_108528-10 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

Our Java Server Pages display this exception on an intermittent basis.
Any ideas on what might be causing this. 

The localport number 8888 in the message below indicates the Tomcat
3.1.1 representing the Workflow manager. The port number for 
the Tomcat for the Java Server Pages is 9095.

Any ideas if this is a known problem.

Thanks for any ideas.
