Threads don't go back to pool!

2003-09-12 Thread Victor Popiol
Hi. When I obtain a jkstatus, during time, the epCount value keeps
increasing. So it seams like the threads are never returned to the pool.
I set the connectionTimeout to 2 (Isuppose 20 secs.) but no help.

 

In the jk2.log I see a lot of messages like this:

 

[Thu Sep 11 10:47:21 2003] (error ) [jk_worker_ajp13.c (416)]
ajp13.service() ajpGetReply recoverable error 3

Also, I get messages like this:

Sun JVM vs. JRockit

2003-06-06 Thread Victor Popiol
Info for those interested in benchmarking Tomcat + JVM.

Original configuration:
Windows 2000.
256 MB Ram
JVM: 1.3.1
Tomcat 4.0.4 with Jasper2
Application is struts based (1.0.2)

This server was upgraded to Tomcat 4.1.24 and JDK 1.4.1

After having set up everything, I realized that the performance had drop
considerably. 

For example, a request to the same page (20 threads) before the upgrade
was producing 6.5 pages/sec. After the upgrade to Tomcat 4.1.24 and JDK
1.4.1 the performance was 4.3 pages/sec.

Since I was't sure what was producing this performance degradation, I
started to experiment with JDBC, Connectors, etc, but no change. Only
when I degraded the JVM to 1.3.1, the performance went up to 8
pages/sec.

Since our next release of the application uses features from JDK 1.4.1,
I could not stay in JDK 1.3.1.

So I decided to try BEA's JRockit 8.1 which complies with Sun's JDK
1.4.1. The performance improved greatly to 14 pages/sec.

The problem now was that I could not run Tomcat as an NT service using
JRockit. The service would start, but after a few seconds, it would die
abruptly. No errors reported.

I saw one posting in this list with the same problem, but no solution.

So I decided to install the Java Service Wrapper
(http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/)

After setting it up, I was able to run Tomcat with JRockit as an NT
service.

So far it looks really promising. We will conduct some more testing
during the rest of the week and hopefully install this configuration in
our production servers next week.

Victor

Subject: I cannot get Tomcat4.1.24 to run as a service using JRockit.
Has anyone done this?


 I'm fairly impressed with the JRockit8.1 JVM but I can't seem to get
 Tomcat to stay alive as a service when trying to subsitute in
 JRockit. Using tomcat.exe to install JRockit as a service seems to
 work, but when you start the service it quickly dies. I think it does
 start up briefly because the correct log files are written.

There is mention of a problem using the service I think:
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/release-notes.html but
I'm not sure if this is the same thing as tomcat.exe.

I've searched far and wide for the answer. I have tried adding
JRockit's -Xnohup command line param but that doesn't seem to help.


Has anyone done this successfully?

thanks,
Brendan

Upgrading to new version of Tomcat

Thanks Yoav. My problem is that I want to minimize the downtime in the

fastest way to do it. There are many dependencies to start fresh,
including conf files, IIS redirector, etc.

Howdy,
Don't simply copy over the old installation.  Do a clean installation of
4.1.18.  Ensure the installation is OK by checking the servlet and JSP
examples, as well as the manager and admin webapps if you use them.
Then make your configuration file changes (do not copy over the
configuration files from the old version -- make the changes again in
the new files), saving the originals under a different name so that
they're available.  Then deploy your app and test it to make sure it's
OK.

RE: Tomcat 4.0.4 Performance - PROBLEM

2002-06-27 Thread Victor Popiol

I don't think so. I saw the error inside 
jakarta-tomcat-4.0/jasper/src/share/org/apache/jasper/compiler/TldLocationsCache int 
he method processJars. Here is the source:


/**
 * Process all the jar files contained in this web application
 * WEB-INF/lib directory.
 */
private void processJars(ServletContext ctxt)
throws JasperException
{

Set libSet = ctxt.getResourcePaths(/WEB-INF/lib);
Iterator it = libSet.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
String resourcePath = (String) it.next();
if (resourcePath.endsWith(.jar)) 
tldConfigJar(ctxt, resourcePath);
}

}

As you can see, there is no check for libSet being not null. Although, it might be 
that in Tomcat 4.1.3, libSet wil be an empty collection.

 I solved my problem. Jasper was dying for not having a lib directory

Thanks for pursuing this! I just hit the same problem, and found your

Since Jasper2 doesn't show this behaviour with Tomcat 4.1.3, I'd imagine
it is a (fixed) Catalina bug, not a Jasper bug.

RE: Tomcat 4.0.4 Performance - PROBLEM

At this point, I'm trying to isolate the issue by having reinstalled tomcat vanilla, 
no config changes and no custom webapps added. 

I did move commons-collections.jar to tomcat4.0.4/common/lib, restarted tomcat and 
continue having the same problem.

This smells like a classpath issue. But I can't figure it out.

you say u're running struts apps, so that may produce the possibility that you have a

Yoav, I have played with the memory parameters a lot. More memory will give it a 
longer life before the Out of Memory error happens. There is definetly a memory leak 
somewhere. From what I have read, it looks like it might be inside tomcat. Especially 
because we could not make JRun die under the same stress and tests.

Howdy,
You're getting that because you need more memory - java by default will
run 
A good start now that you have something running (at least up to the
point it crashes with the OutOfMemory error) would be to 
1) Set -Xmx at something much higher than you should need, e.g.
-Xmx2048m
2) Run your app with a profiler.  See where memory gets allocated.  See
how much memory you really need.  Gradually trim down -Xmx until you
reach a point you have enough memory to handle your peaks, and then some
for safety.

Welcome to the fun exciting world of java heap performance tuning ;)

It also helped us when we increased the memory. Right now, we have scheduled a daily 
service restart (this is in production :-( ).

I'll be looking forward to your feedback regarding 4.1.5

I had the same problem, increased memory up to 512 and got rid of it.
But it seemd kind of obvious to me that tomcat 4.1.3 was taking way more memory than 
4.0.3, for example an application that normally takes 40 - 60 mb was taking 400mb of 
memory under load, and it did not seem to release the memory unless I killed the 
java.exe process. All my problems came as I was stress-testing the application. I'm 
testing version 4.1.5 right now, I'll let you know if there is any difference.

RE: Tomcat 4 performance issues - Trying Tomcat 4.1.3 Beta

2002-06-21 Thread Victor Popiol

My initial suspition was Jasper. But there have been less and less JSP compilations 
after the site was deployed.

One thing I wanted to try, to rule out Jasper, was to precompile all the JSP's. But I 
can't figure out how to do that. I guess I'll have to write an ant build file using 
the jsp compilation task.

Also, is there a way to query tomcat for resources held? I.E. JDBC connections.

Could there be something in our code causing these leaks in a way that the container 
would run out of memory? We have tried the application on JRun 4 in our test lab and 
have not been able to run out of memory yet.

Thanks
Victor

Since apparently you are not using many static pages, this would seem to 
rule out the bug which got fixed.

Jasper 2 introduces pooling for a lot of objects which previously 
weren't pooled, so it is a possible cause. Maybe there is a problem with 
the size of those pools, although I didn't notice anything completely 
wrong in the code.

This will need to be investigated. Overall, 4.1.x should use a little 
bit more memory than 4.0.x, but there shouldn't be a huge difference.

Note: 4.1.5 introduces more pooling (rather than less), like for tag 
instances for example, but those pools have limits on their size.

Howdy,
I know you already solved the problem (was userid).

As an aside, it's a bad idea to unpack 3rd party jars.  You probably
want to rename classes12.zip to classes12.jar so tomcat will pick it up.

Hi. I installed Tomcat 4.1.3 and deployed my application. But I
consistently get en error trying to connect to our database. This error
only happens in Tomcat 4.1.3.

The database is Oracle 8.1.7 and I expanded the classes from the
classes12.zip JDBC distributable (as I had done on Tomcat 4.03).

The error happens when trying to open the connection. To isolate the
issue,
I wrote a small jsp page that exercise the data source to get the
conection. Here it is:

%@ page contentType=text/html
import=javax.naming.*,java.sql.*,javax.sql.* %
html
body
%
   System.out.println(StartingBR);
   Context initCtx = new InitialContext();
   Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup(java:comp/env);
   DataSource ds = (DataSource)
 envCtx.lookup(jdbc/duwi);
   if (ds != null) {
   System.out.println(Data Source is not nullBR);
   Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
   conn.close();
   }
%
Ready!
