Problems with tomcat-3.3 (urgent help needed)

Question

Hello!
I am using servlets with tomcat3.3. I'm using JDBC to gain access to an ODBC MS-Access db. My problem is that at the client site a SocketException is generated which says 'socket write error-connection reset by peer" or 'socket write error (error code =10053) . My observation(belief) is that this happens only when user press refresh(F5) of the browser before the first request gets processed. At that time error is ignored but the server gets sort of hanged in a couple of hours. The error does not get caught when entire code inside doGet() is put inside a try-catch block. PLease please help.
Thanks in advance.

please help.The server doesn't pass these sorts of errors to your servlet because Tomcat does all the mult-threading and connection cleanup itself.
