    Too many open files

      Hi all,

      I'm facing this error since past few days (ever since I believe our server has started taking more 
      load/website traffic).

      JBoss version: 4.2.0
      Database: mysql
      Operating System: Linux (Ubuntu)

      (I hope this much information and the stack trace below is enough. Please let me know if you need 
      more information to be able to provide me with better answers!)

      I checked on the net (other blogs) and looks like this is related to Linux file handle limit. However 
      before I go ahead and fiddle around with OS default settings (file handle limits and all), I want to 
      make sure if this is really OS issue and not something that I can fix via some setting in JBoss itself?

      Please let me know your thoughts.

      Thanks!
      GT
