Method of local ejb threw exception

We are migrating our java applications from WAS 7 to WAS 8.5. After logging into one of our application we are calling a local ejb method from controller to get details for an id. The method gets called,it queries the data, but when returning to controller it errors out giving, Method of local EJB threw exception. Would be great if someone could shed some light on the issue. I have checked multiple forums, but couldn't get a proper explanation. Below is the stack trace.
I've mentioned some places as "package name" as it cannot be shared.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening "org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: could not execute query"?

Our server is running on client site from last one year, but last night suddenly the server stopped responding because of some SQL/Hibernate exception, but after restarting server everything started working again.
Here is our hibernate configurations(.hbm.xml):
<property name="connection.driver_class">org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/emessenger</property>
<property name="hibernate.current_session_context_class">org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext</property>
<property name="connection.username">root</property>
<property name="connection.password">root</property>
<property name="show_sql">false</property>
<property name="connection.provider_class">org.hibernate.connection.C3P0ConnectionProvider</property>
<property name="c3p0.min_size">1</property>
<property name="c3p0.max_size">100</property>
<property name="c3p0.timeout">5</property>
<property name="c3p0.max_statements">0</property>
Here is the exception trace, (similar three exceptions has been thrown on that time, if you want i can show you those exceptions also):

Would anyone tell me what's wrong here, should we need to upgrade to new hibernate? or some MySQL settings has to be changed? Or is it related to c3p0 configurations?

You are using an old mysql driver, use
com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

The nested exception suggests that something on the MySQL server-side has interrupted the query. I suggest you check the MySQL logs, and the system log (on the database server) for clues as to the possible cause.
There is not enough evidence to say whether the root cause is in Hibernate, C3PO, MySQL or the JDBC driver. Or something else. Without knowing what the root cause, nobody can confidently suggest a fix. (Or at least, nobody can do that with justifiable confidence. IMO.)

You have not really specified your environment, or shown any of your configuration, but from your stack trace I can see that you are using Spring.
In your spring config xml file, you probably have a "dataSource" bean or something similair to the following:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
Try adding the following property to that bean:
<property name="validationQuery" value="select 1" />
This property is explained here: DBCP Configuration

NoClassDefFoundError means that the class loader cannot find a class which org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.HibernateDaoSupport depends on. Not that HibernateDaoSupport itself is missing. The best way to find which dependency is missing is to look at the import section of HibernateDaoSupport
It seems you are missing org.springframework.dao library in your classpath.

I think it is because you have a different version of spring-orm jar in your library which has the org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.HibernateDaoSupport class.
Add spring-orm 3.1 jar to your lib. You can find the jar download link at the bottom.
In general if you get a NoClassDefFoundError, google for the jar that has the class. Maven Central Repository is a good place to do that.
Your spring aop, jdbc and transaction jars are also of different version (3.0.7 and not 3.1.1). Always use jars of same versions . There are chances that application might throw some error if you use different versions of jars.

14.3 Hibernate
We will start with a coverage of Hibernate 3 in a Spring environment,
using it to demonstrate the approach that Spring takes towards
integrating O/R mappers. This section will cover many issues in detail
and show different variations of DAO implementations and transaction
demarcation. Most of these patterns can be directly translated to all
other supported ORM tools. The following sections in this chapter will
then cover the other ORM technologies, showing briefer examples there.
Note: As of Spring 3.0, Spring requires Hibernate 3.2 or later.
Source: http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/orm.html#orm-hibernate
Your Hibernate Version is too old.
On re-reading your question, you say you are using Hibernate 3.6, yet you list hibernate3.jar among your dependencies. Which is it?

JDBC Oracle Properties File

I am trying to learn Spring MVC by following through some of the examples at:
http://krams915.blogspot.com/2012/01/spring-mvc-31-jqgrid-and-spring-data_1887.html
I have the project running fine and happy in MySQL, but I need to try and get this running in Oracle. I have ported the database no sweat. The oracle xe server is 11g release 2. The server is running on the same machine (localhost) and I am able to connect to it using SQL developer using the information below.
I have the following in my properties file:
#oracle
app.jdbc.driverClassName=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
app.jdbc.url=jdbc\:oracle\:thin\:#localhost\:1521\:DATABASENAME
app.jdbc.username=DATABASENAME
app.jdbc.password=PASSWORD
#mysql
#app.jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
#app.jdbc.url=jdbc\:mysql\://localhost/DATABASENAME
#app.jdbc.username=USERNAME
#app.jdbc.password=PASSWORD
Like I said, uncommenting the MySQL it works fine, not sure where I am going wrong with the Oracle settings.
The error I'm getting

If you are using Oracle XE, the database name should always be XE. It seems unlikely that the username that you want to use is XE as well-- did you really create a user named XE? Assuming that the user that you created to own all the database objects is not XE, the configuration should be something like
app.jdbc.driverClassName=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
app.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:XE
app.jdbc.username=USERNAME
app.jdbc.password=PASSWORD

I don't believe you should have those Windows slashes in the connection URL. (I don't believe it's correct for MySQL, even if it "works".) It ought to look like this:
app.jdbc.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:#localhost:1521:DATABASENAME
You'd get more help here if you could post the complete stack trace of the exception you're getting or log messages from Spring.
