Automated recovery from Database Connection is Null?

Every once in a while we get the error "database connection is null" and no one can connect to RTC. The only way to fix this appears to be to shutdown the RTC server and start it up again (run server.shutdown followed by server.startup). This is rather annoying. Is there any way to configure RTC to automatically try to reconnect to the database without having to manually restart the server?
We are running 2.0.0.2 ifix5 and connecting to a SQL server.

We too had the same issue on 9feb2012 and resolved by restarting the sever.what is the actual root cause for the problem whether its due to database or due to RTC app ? we use oracle10g database.
