An update on this: First, thanks for the feedback to date. I have associated a specific incident with the increase in CPU usage by Jboss. Some of our HTTP requests contain a file that is read into memory and then saved on the server's file system. In some cases, it seems this file data is corrupt or size doesn't match content size, or??? and the InputStream.read() call hangs and never returns. The application timeout eventually kills the application thread but some low level processing continues to run eating up resources. At this point, a restart is the only solution we have found to remove the orphaned processing. I am considering some sort of timeout mechanism when read() 'ing. For example, if the timeout is executed, I'll try InputStream.close().
Any light that can be shed on this is appreciated.
