When using Tomcat 5.0.27 the following error shows up in the catalina.log file;
SEVERE: Remote Host 12.159.66.150 SocketException: Connection reset org.apache.tomcat.util.net.TcpWorkerThread runIt The ip address 12.159.66.150 is a load balancer that front-ends Tomcat and checks every 5 secs to make sure tomcat is running (by checking the port tomcat runs on). When I switch to Tomcat 5.0.16 under the same exact conditions this does not show up in the log file. It does not hurt the performance of Tomcat but it is causing a huge and unreadable log file, and in addition, we monitor the log files for SEVERE errors and send out an email when any occur Questions; What exactly does this mean? (I believe it to mean a client closed the connection to tomcat before tomcat had a chance to reply to it.) Is there a way to prevent this from being logged? Why does this occur under Tomcat 5.0.27 and not Tomcat 5.0.16? If Tomcat cant be set up to not log this error, is there a way to log in as INFO instead?
