FWIW we have been experiencing this problem intermittently for 2 years and still haven't figured out what is causing it. We changed from IBM JDK 1.4.2 to Sun 1.5, tomcat to JBoss 4.0.3. The only difference is that in our case once the thread gets "stuck" it never seems to time out - at least as far as we can tell. In our case we might go for a week before we see this happen. In our case all of the requests go through an Apache Proxy. The requests might then go through a load balancer - we've tried it both ways - before hittlng the servlet container.
I'd appreciate more details in why connectionTimeout and disableUploadTimeout might have some effect - their descriptions don't seem to apply to this scenario. Ralph Hello Tomcat users, We are having difficulty with connections to Tomcat remaining open after the client hits "stop" in their browser. This only seems to happen when we have a particular combination of load balancer hardware in front of the tomcats. We are also running apache and have not seen the same behavior there, even though the load balancer hardware and config is the same. We are using Tomcat 5.5.20 on linux 2.6.9-34.0.1.ELsmp. It is running standalone. We are using APR in some environments and not in others, but see the problem in either configuration. We have captured tcpdumps and see the pattern at the bottom of this email. It appears that the web application tries to retransmit until it gets a RST from the client after about 12 minutes. When we finally get the RST, we get a lot of exceptions (some of them are due to the fact that our session timeout is shorter than the length of these requests. I can add them later if they would be useful). When we do threaddumps of the java process, many threads appear to be stuck in java.net.SocketOutputStream.socketWrite0 Thread [0x00000fd] exceeded timeout of [180000] millis.
