Hi, I've written a web application using Jackrabbit. I have Tomcat as my web server and I'm having a strange problem when a large number of requests are sent to Tomcat simultaneously.
Here's the scenario: When I have about 7 people accessing the server and sending about 10-15 requests at a time, the server starts off very strong and keeps going for about 5 minutes (Each of the 7 people sends 3-4 batches of requests over those 5 minutes. This means in 5 minutes we have 7 people sending about 50 requests each. Therefore a total of 350 requests). After the 5 minutes the sever slows down and about 2-3 minutes after doing the same routine, Tomcat stops responding. I was monitoring the system and the CPU was calm and the memory was running at about 100 MB. But it's really strange that Tomcat stops responding even though the server is not doing anything. And it's not like the request has timed out. No error msg or anything is sent back from Tomcat. I'm using Jackrabbit as my DB and I'm having a really hard time spotting the problem. I don't know if I need to tweak tomcat's configs, or something in Jackrabbit or is it something with Tomcat and Jackrabbit talking to each other, that I need to know about. I came across the post below and the line saying It is caused by an in accessible data base. made me wonder if there's a glitch between tomcat and jackrabbit. http://www.mail-archive.com/tomcat-u...@jakarta.apache.org/msg158745.html Thank you in advance. Any help is much appreciated, since I need to have the system ready in a week. -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Tomcat-stops-responding-due-to-too-many-requests-using-Jackrabbit-tp605488p605488.html Sent from the Jackrabbit - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
