I've got a question and it's kind of deep developer question. I was poking around today looking at my tomcat instance running under Linux.
I was looking in the /proc/<pid>/fd directory, which is the list of file descriptors open by my servlet application. There are around 1400 open file descriptors. What I don't understand is why there are some 800+ file descriptors that are open to /dev/urandom. On this particular host there are some 400 configured hosts/contexts. On another server, there are 1100 file descriptors open to /dev/urandom. For this server, there are around 200 configured hosts/contexts. I'm using Sun JDK 1.6.0_14 on OpenSUSE 11.1. One machine is amd64 architecture, while the other is i386. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? It seems kind of strange to have 800-1200 file descriptors open to one pseudo file.
