No ManagedConnections available

we have started facing a very strange issue recently on production, this issue occurs only on Monday's between 8:30AM t0 9:30 AM
The inUseConnections count goes to become 20 in no time and application hangs and we have to flush the connections to get it back to working.
the error seen in the logs is:
2016-05-16 09:18:31,156 ERROR [org.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter] No ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout ( 30000 [ms] ); - nested throwable: (javax.resource.ResourceException: No ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout ( 30000 [ms] ))

Could you please help me understand what could be the reason behind this and how can this be resolved.
Thanks in advance.
Note: we haven't seen this issue before in our application, it was working fine for many years, all the connections in the application are being closed properly.

Well, its hard to point the exact reason without knowing your business flows.
I think that if you're running out of available connections, obviously someone consumes them.
In general it can be:
Option 1:
The same code, called simultaneously. For example, in the provided stack trace I see:
com.baad.merc.service.proposal.impl.ProposalServiceImpl.retrieveProposalSummary(ProposalServiceImpl.java:1050)
I would check that, by placing some counter/metric. Since you're using AOP, it shouldn't be hard to implement as an aspect or something.
Option 2:
There are just too many users using your application at that period of time, so they run their requests. This also can be tracked like this: when you reach, say, 19 connections (again you can use counter for measuring that) - just create a thread dump programmatically and store it in some place on the filesystem. So you'll be able to track the flow that actually caused this situation.
Similarly it can be even some internal activity, for instance a scheduled job or something.

java.net.SocketException in SOAP call

I'm looking for an expert's input on this problem.
I have a java application that connects with remote system via SOAP API. We have this same application (client) running across multiple laptops and hitting various environments (dev, test and production) as required. All is fine except in one laptop in which requests to production (only) fail intermittently. The exception I'm getting is given below:

Do you have any idea what might have happened? To remind you, this happens in only one of many laptops running the same code and config, only in production environment (It's working great in all other environments. There never is any problem), and only at times.
One more thing: if I make calls using SOAPUI from the same laptop, there's no exception.
Your time and response is very appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT
Additionally, there's one message that keeps popping on this particular laptop only (in eclipse log). I'm not sure this could be a reason though:
Mar 14, 2013 12:19:30 PM org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver handleHttpRequestMethodNotSupported
WARNING: Request method 'HEAD' not supported

Sounds unlikely, but it was because of JDK version. We downgraded JDK version from 1.7 to 1.6 and it worked flawlessly.
Turns out, we banged our head for a whole month to later find out it was version incompatibility :o

Based on the information given, the root error is:
Request method 'HEAD' not supported
You can tell your controller to support the HEAD method using setSupportedMethods(String[] supportedMethodsArray).

Random java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot forward after response has been committed

I realize that there are a lots of questions relating to this topic but all are related to writing to the response and then doing a redirect/forward or something like that in a predictable and easily reproducible manner.
The problem I'm having is that one day a production app suddenly started raising this exception on random pages, 4 o 5 times a day. The stacktrace is below.
The app is using myfaces 1.1.9, richfaces 3.1.4.GA, tomahawk 1.1.10 and deployed on tomcat 5.5.33.
I've tried updating this libraries but the problem continues.
Apparently when the request come in, the response is already committed. I don't know why this is happening. Reading the tomcat source code, the only way this could be posible is if the recycle() method of the Response is not called. But every time I debug the app the method is called.
The same is happening whether the request is ajax or not.
I can't reproduce this bug so any help could be much appreciated.

I faced the same problem, and in my case was the http connector. It get exhaustes, but got no error about, just the java.lang.IllegalStateException.
Solution: modify the server.xml in $JBOSS_HOME/server/<environment>/deploy/jbossweb.sar/ and add the acceptCount="1000" and maxThreads="500" (this in my case).
Hope to help.

This can happen if you've written more to the response output than it has buffer for. Once you've filled the response buffer the bytes begin to be streamed to the client. At that point you can't change the response to redirect because the HTTP response headers have already been sent to the client. Here are some options I can think of that you have to solve this:
Detect that you need to redirect sooner in the request processing.
Configure your servlet or filter that's handling this request to have a larger response buffer.
Write a filter that buffers more of the output (perhaps there's already a library for this).
I'd say that ideally you do #1, however I know that can be tricky at times. Option #2 can be difficult to find the right configuration option, if one even exists. The last option is somewhat of a blanket fix, although note that you'll additionally be delaying the first byte to the client. It should be fairly trivial to write, and I imagine there's already code out there to do it (can't think anything that includes it offhand though).

Cannot call web service

I am currently trying to call a web service with a client built with Apache CXF. Though the service is available in the browser, I cannot connect to it, due to the following error.
Any thoughts regarding the problem ?

Seems like one of two options
You are trying to connect to the wrong uri (server / port / url)
You trying to connect to a service which is blocked by a firewall
Maybee you could give us some more insight in the configuration you are using

With CXF you can override the target url of the WSDL by the following CXF spring configuration
<bean id="service" class="your.pack.age.YourService"
factory-bean="clientFactory" factory-method="create">
</bean>
<bean id="clientFactory" class="org.apache.cxf.jaxws.JaxWsProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="serviceClass" value="your.pack.age.YourService" />
<property name="address" value="${service.url}" />
</bean>

Open the browser settings, for sure you will find web proxy enabled, you need to pass the same settings in your code:
HTTPConduit http = (HTTPConduit) client.getConduit();
http.getClient().setProxyServer("proxy server URL");
http.getClient().setProxyServerPort(port);

Using PrintWriter and OutputStream

I am creating a project with struts and I have a problem using Jasper IReports. I want to export some info into a pdf file and I keep getting the java.lang.IllegalStateException: getOutputStream() has already been call... Exception due to openning a ServletOutputStream in my code when the page already opens a PrintWriter.
The code is in the model (so it is not in the jsp, it's in a java file), as it follows:
public void handle(HttpServletResponse res, Connection connection, String path)throws Exception{
ServletOutputStream out = null;
try {
JasperDesign jasperDesign = JRXmlLoader.load(path);
JasperReport jasperReport = JasperCompileManager.compileReport(jasperDesign);
byte[] bytes = JasperRunManager.runReportToPdf(jasperReport, null, connection);
res.setContentType("application/pdf");
res.setContentLength(bytes.length);
out = res.getOutputStream();
out.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
out.flush();
out.close();
}
I have checked the connection, the path and the HttpServletResponse and are all working fine.
I'm very newbie with Jasper Reports as well as with coding stuff into PDF so you can -correctly- suposse that I have a minimal idea of what I am doing here and that, obviously my code is copy/pasted from somewhere through the net.
I have tried to use PrintWriter instead of OutputStream, transforming bytes into a String and using the PrintWriter.append(String) method (allthought is not String is CharSequence), but it doesn't extract the data into the PDF.
I have also tried to get the PrintWriter, close it to open the OutputStream (didn't work) or flush it (neither).
Any help with a solution to use any out that could show the data in a pdf would be great.
Thanks a lot!

Would be useful to see the stack trace.
You might try running a sanity check first though: Modify that code to simply write a static string (hello world) to the ServletOutputStream and set content type to text/html. As that should work fine:
public void handle(HttpServletResponse res, Connection connection, String path)throws Exception{
ServletOutputStream out = null;
try {
byte[] bytes = "hello world".getBytes();
res.setContentType("text/html");
res.setContentLength(bytes.length);
out = res.getOutputStream();
out.write(bytes, 0, bytes.length);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
out.flush();
out.close();
}

Some ideas:
PrintWriter isn't going to work if you are working with a binary stream (PDF are binary)
The illegal state might occur if there is client side timeout or disconnect. A packet trace of the process will tell you a lot (even if you can't read them well). Look at WireShark or what is available for your platform. Its worth your time to learn at least a little bit about what happens at the wire level.
Make sure the data you are getting back from the report generate is actually a pdf. Write it to a file and attempt to open.
Some situations need you to set the http length header before writing to the stream otherwise they give up when the data starts to show. Might be necessary here.

How exactly is the code invoked? Judging from the stacktrace it look like that you're running the Java class with the handle method using scriptlets inside a JSP file (the inicio2.jsp to be precise). After that the Java class has written the report to the OutputStream, the JSP file would continue with outputting the remnant of the file itself (including whitespace!), which would implicitly invoke the getWriter() to write it to response. Exactly that would cause an IllegalStateException as you're facing now when the getOutputStream() is already been called before in the Java class.
It's good that Java code is been placed in a Java class, but that doesn't mean that you may still use JSP to invoke it. The JSP should not contain any single line of Java code. JSP itself is as being a view technology part of the output. To fix this all, just have a Struts action class (or a HttpServlet) which you can invoke by a HTML <form> or <a>.

Own answer:
I have put in the path a jrxml that actually connects to the database and gets some real data out and suddendly it worked, the PDF opened in mozilla, but the Exception keeps happening. I do not know how I can throw and exception (I have debugged and the Exception happens in the same place) and be able to see the PDF.
So I can only keep searching for what actually happens here. I will answer with anything I find (probably on monday).
Thanks simonlord and Jim Rush for your help! :)
Edit: By the way, here is the stacktrace (it's in Spanish, if needed I will translate anything you don't understand):
Edit again: Seems I didn't copy the '1' in the 15th-Jan-2010... could create confusion about a trace from the 5th-Jan insetad. Corrected.
