One does not cause the other, but they are both symptoms of the app  
taking too long to respond.

No idea about that.

You can't fix the broken pipe directly, it is a warning that your app  
is responding too slowly for the woadaptor settings.  One solution is  
to use something like the WOLongResponsePage so that the request does  
not drag on.  You could also do it in the background and somehow  
notify the user.  The other "solution" is to increase the Connect and  
Receive timeouts for the woadaptor (see the App configuration page in  
JavaMonitor) until it waits long enough for this process to finish.
