I am using Tomcat 5.0.16 standalone serving as both an http/https web server and servlet container. This error occurred in our QA environment and has caused Tomcat to hang and not service any requests. This error seemed to occur when no users were using the site at the time, but about 4 DAYS earlier we preformed a stress test simulating 1200 semi-simultaneous users and everything worked perfectly without any errors. Since the stress test we are only accessing the application as an occasional single user, the last time being about 8 hours prior to this error happening. Most parameters in the server.xml file are the default values (the maxThreads value is set to "150").
Our log file is in xml format and contains the following error; <logger>org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool</logger> <level>SEVERE</level> <class>org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.ThreadPool</class> <method>logFull</method> <thread>13</thread> <message>All threads (150) are currently busy, waiting. Increase maxThreads (150) or check the servlet status</message> fyi. Nowhere in my application is the code creating any threads. We are very close to our site being live so any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Would tomcat 4.1.29 be more stable?
