I'm just starting to research this issue and I'm not very familiar with Inline. Using Inline::Java in a mod_perl application on CentOS 6.2, Perl v5.10.1, and $Inline::Java::VERSION = '0.53'.
At times I find Apache processes that are old (meaning the child process was started perhaps days ago) and where strace shows the Apache process is waiting on a read() call. The read is waiting on the socket connected to the server that top shows the command as: /usr/lib/jvm/java/bin/java org.perl.inline.java.InlineJavaServer 0 localhost 7891 true false false The java is making a webservice call and my assumption is a response is never returned. Is there a way to set a timeout, or do I need to trap ALRM and call alarm( $timeout )? Thanks, -- Bill Moseley mose...@hank.org
