Singleton getInstance returns new instances each time ?
-------------------------------------------------------

         Key: AXIS-2030
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2030
     Project: Axis
        Type: Bug
  Components: Basic Architecture  
    Versions: 1.2    
 Environment: Linux AS2/AS3. Tomcat4. Axis 1.2.
    Reporter: ultan ocarroll


We have an application using Axis1.2 as a client for a SOAP service. 
Over 24 hour periods of time we see many many tcp connections (40000+) being 
left open to that service. The connections are in ESTABLISHED state. What is a 
critical problem is that on restart, our servers very often report "too many 
open files" and fail to start or start with spurious errors.

I suspected originally that our version of Commons HttpClient (3.0rc2) was at 
fault and found a reported issue very similar to ours 
(http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-httpclient-user/200505.mbox/[EMAIL
 PROTECTED] ).
However, the solution is not relevant to our situation (it recommends reverting 
JDK version from 1.5 to 1.4.2 - we do this already). 

Looking at the HttpClient code I cant see where the problem is arising. I 
havent yet contacted the team behind HttpClient as during investigations Ive 
come across what seems to be a problem with singleton instantiation in the 
CommonsHttpSender. 

I noticed when I set a breakpoint in CommonsHttpSender that I get a new 
instance for each request and as a result get a new 
MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager on each request, each with a new connection 
pool. Im not sure where in the stack this singleton should be managed, but 
surely there should only be one instance of CommonsHttpSender or its 
constructor should get a singleton reference to 
MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager ? Or am I missing something here ?

Heres the stack trace, if thats any help : 
CommonsHTTPSender.initialize() line: 97
CommonsHTTPSender.<init>() line: 88
