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 NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Constructor, Object[]) line: not available [native method] NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Object[]) line: 39 DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Object[]) line: 27 Constructor.newInstance(Object[]) line: 274 Class.newInstance0() line: 308 Class.newInstance() line: 261 WSDDTransport(WSDDTargetedChain).makeNewInstance(EngineConfiguration) line: 157 WSDDTransport(WSDDDeployableItem).getNewInstance(EngineConfiguration) line: 274 WSDDTransport(WSDDDeployableItem).getInstance(EngineConfiguration) line: 260 WSDDDeployment.getTransport(QName) line: 441 FileProvider.getTransport(QName) line: 257 AxisClient(AxisEngine).getTransport(String) line: 332 AxisClient.invoke(MessageContext) line: 163 -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
