I am using the spring framework to connect. It is giving me the following exception nearly 2 out of 10 times. The problem is intermittent. I have checked my internet connection and code thoroughly. My hunch is that there is some issue with postgre instance on AWS but I am not able to pinpoint what exactly the problem is. Please help.
