In a nutshell, there are many cases where Apache httpd and Tomcat are separated by a firewall, and, as such, there isn't a one-to-one direct connection. The firewall will close a connection but one side doesn't know about it. As such, new requests create more sockets until TC runs out of threads. mod_jk is not recycling connections as it should, and setting the various params (eg: connection_pool_timeout) does not solve the problem. It's similar to the old Apache http lingering close problem.
http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg75444.html is one example of such problems, in which case you responded and agreed that don't reuse is a last resort solution. I just think it would be nice to provide that last resort :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
