Problems with connections pool in Tomcat (no replies)

Hi all,

I have a problem with:
Tomcat 6.0 + MySQL 5.1 + mysql-connector.

I configured the connection in tomcat like this:

<Resource driverClassName="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"
logAbandoned="false"
maxActive="35"
maxIdle="2"
maxWait="5000"
name="jdbc/TheName"
password="password"
removeAbandoned="true"
removeAbandonedTimeout="60"
type="javax.sql.DataSource"
url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/schema"
username="user"/>

In MySql I have good configured the wait_timeout and the interactive_timeout in 28800.

The problem is that the pool never removes the connection and when the mysql closes it, I got this exception:
java.sql.SQLException: Already closed

Some idea?

These configuration was worked properly in MySQL 4.1 and Tomcat 5.5..

Thanks!
