oracle error 17008 - reason?

[Sree Nivas]

Hello All,

Our Application got into strange state today where every
display or edit user via the GUI failed with oracle error 17008.

There's nothing wrong with the database, situation resolved by restarting of the application.

error received at the app GUI :
ElementException_PreparedStatementCallback; uncategorized SQLException
for SQL
state [null]; error code [17008]; Closed Connection; nested exception
is java.sql.SQLException: Closed Connection [ELEMENT: 5020CSC-A][TYPE:
SN]
Our applicatin running using JBoss 3.2.4 and databas version is Oracle 9.

Any idea why this oracle error 17008 occurred.

regards
Sreenivas

Well it just looks like the JDBC Connections got closed somehow. by restarting you recreated those connections.
