Michael Herrmann commented on JAMES-1317: ----------------------------------------- No problem, you (Norman in particular) have been so helpful that it's nice for me to try to give some useful insights back. There are some news from our side: Setting openjpa.jdbc.SchemaFactory=dynamic prevented a new connection from being borrowed from the pool in one case (LazySchemaFactory), however there is at least one more case in which OpenJPA tries to borrow an additional connection from the pool: When generating Ids using OpenJPA's Sequence / generators functionality for the very first time, OpenJPA creates a helper table with a new connection. Setting <!--type=2 means org.apache.openjpa.kernel.Seq.TYPE_TRANSACTIONAL. In some circumstances, this avoids an additional connection from being opened. --> <property name="openjpa.Sequence" value="table(type=2)"/> in persistence.xml fixes this, however then there is another instance in org.apache.openjpa.jdbc.kernel.TableJDBCSeq where OpenJPA tries to obtain a new connection. Changing openjpa.ConnectionRetainMode also does not help. At this point, we see two options: The first is to add full-fledged JTA support to James, hoping that then OpenJPA would always use the same connection for side-tasks in the processing of a transaction. The second is to increase our connection pool size to a value large enough so it does not run out of connections. In theory, 21 should be enough: There are 20 spooler threads, each requiring 1 connection when processing a mail, and OpenJPA should never need more than 1 additional connection for its side tasks. To be on the safe side however, I think we will set the maximum connection pool size to 50 and configure the pool in such a way that connections that have not been returned to the pool in a long time are removed (see http://commons.apache.org/dbcp/configuration.html, "removeAbandoned"). I will try this next. > Mail spooled but not processed > ------------------------------ > > Key: JAMES-1317 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-1317 > Project: JAMES Server > Issue Type: Bug > Components: SpoolManager & Processors > Affects Versions: 3.0-M1, 3.0-M2, 3.0-beta3 > Reporter: Raju Buchi > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 3.0-beta4 > > Attachments: Dump.txt, Dump2.txt, > james-server-mailetcontainer-camel-3.0-beta4-SNAPSHOT.jar, > james-server-mailetcontainer-camel-3.0-beta4-SNAPSHOT.jar, jstack.zip, > logs.zip, logs.zip > > > Mails sent to James server are spooled but they are not processed and sent > out. > The issue is similar to the one faced by Zach. > The server seems to be working fine for a few hours or few days, but some > time all the mails are spooled but they will not be processed and sent out. > Restarted the server several times and some time a few of the mails will be > processed and all the others are lost. > As Norman suggested I have took a jstack trace. > Please let me how we can resolve this issue > Thanks > - Raju -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
